ProfessorI am conducting research to clarify the biological defense functions of food components such as the suppression of chronic inflammation and the improvement of lipid metabolism, and their molecular mechanisms. My focus is on fermentable indigestible polysaccharides and phytochemicals that improve a healthy gut environment. Since chronic inflammation is a major contributor to the development of various diseases, I aim to prevent dementia and lifestyle-related diseases by elucidating the functions and mechanisms of food components that prevent inflammation.
Recent Topics of Interest:
The relationship between food components and the gut-brain axis. It has become clear that the intestinal environment also affects brain function. My research suggests that certain food components may modulate brain inflammation by improving the gut environment. In the future, I aim to investigate the underlying mechanisms in greater detail.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Stick to my beliefs, but be flexible as needed
Hobby / Holiday:
Visiting art museums (especially Western art exhibitions), Walking, Hiking, and Reading

LecturerI have a keen interest in the comprehensive analysis of environmental chemicals using mass spectrometry and in studying the health effects of chemical exposure through metabolome analysis. My goal is to elucidate the biological mechanisms by which the diverse array of chemicals in the environment impacts human health.
Recent Topics of Interest: Developing methods to analyze the effects of multiple exposures to various chemical substances.
Motto in Research or in Life: Just give it a try with your own hands.
Hobby / Holiday: Caring for children, R programming, Listening to music, Playing a game: ‘Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon’

ProfessorSince British obstetrician James Blundell invented transfusion therapy in 1818, the concept of transfusion treatment has remained unchanged for 200 years. Changing that concept is my life's work. To attain this goal, I am conducting Basic and Development Research to generate in vitro platelet products with a shelf life of 4 days.
Recent Topics of Interests
The relationship between the roles of megakaryocytes other than platelet production, such as immune functions and functions related to the development, differentiation, and maintenance of other cells, and cellular aging.
Motto in Research or in Life:
(1) Acting on foolish (unique) ideas: fantasizing and innovation are in close proximity.
(2) After all, what remains is the genuineness.
Hobby / Holiday:
On Sunday mornings, I work out. I also enjoy playing the cello. My goal is to become able to play all 42 pieces of Bach's 6 Cello Suites from memory before I retire.
