PhD positions


Welcoming graduate students

I am Masaki Mori, a pediatrician-scientist, the principal investigator of Department of Medical Chemistry, Shiga University of Medical Science (SUMS).

We are seeking for graduate students who are interested in the research aiming at solving pediatric medical problems, through the way of molecular science.

Aiming at supporting the carrier as a scientist competitive world wide, we offer the training and educational opportunities.

In this particular department, many are English-speakers and conferences are held in English.


The projects in our lab are:

Pediatrics molecular medicine
Aiming at understanding and finding a solution for pediatric diseases, we have been engaged in the elucidation of molecular basis for the uniqueness that only children possess, and adult don’t.

Cell competition
How do cells dialogue? We are studying a role of the cell competition in the cellular quality control in the organs.

Physical aspect of a cell: Microrheology (Collaboration with Dr. Daisuke Mizuno, Kyusyu university.)
Is physical status of a cell (stiffness, for example) affected by biological factors? How? Thanks to the fruitful collaboration with Dr. Daisuke Mizuno, Kyusyu university, we are tackling to uncover the unsolved questions of life.

Bioinformatics
How thousands of factors behave in a cell? By computational biology, we are addressing how the network of genes and molecules dynamically behave.

Human genetic disease modeling.
Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, we are producing and analyzing the models of human diseases.


Therapeutic ideas are being sought.
