Welcome to the Kato Lab!

Our lab is interested in cellular responses to enviromental aspects using microalgae and plants. We also produce biodegradable Mardi Gras beads and biomedical products with microalgae. 

Techniques used in the lab include 3D printing, behavioral cell assays, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), microscopy, modeling software, and PCR. We also participate in local field work during the summer.
