Projects

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.
