ProfessorThe immune system is a sophisticated biological system developed for the defense of an organism, maintaining homeostasis by recognizing and eliminating pathogens and cancer cells through immune cells. In my laboratory, I aim to contribute to developing novel therapeutics for autoimmune diseases, allergies, infections, cancer, and more by focusing on the role of glycans in immune cell trafficking.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Development of novel anti-glycan monoclonal antibodies applicable for the treatment of immune-related diseases such as autoimmune and allergic diseases.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Practice makes perfect.
Hobby / Holiday:
Watching Sports

Assistant ProfessorMy research is focused on the development of novel radiopharmaceuticals. Radiopharmaceuticals are medications that contain a radioisotope within their molecular structure. When administered to patients and accumulated in cancer cells, radioactive radiations emitted from tumors can be used for nuclear medicine diagnostics and therapies. Since radiation is constantly emitted in the body, I aim to develop safe radiopharmaceuticals that selectively target cancerous tissues without accumulating in non-cancerous ones.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Therapeutic nuclear medicine using astatine-211 based radiopharmaceuticals and the coordination chemistry of metallic radioisotopes
Motto in Research or in Life:
Continuity is the father of success
Thoroughly pursue research that I find intriguing
Hobby / Holiday:
Watching soccer (used to ‘play’…) and spending time with family

Professor We are conducting research on the preparation and evaluation of solid dispersion formulations, nanoparticle formulations, and self-emulsifying formulations with the aim of improving the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Our focus is on clarifying drug elution and membrane permeation mechanisms from these formulations at the molecular level, contributing to formulation development.
The formulation and physical property evaluation technology in our laboratory is also applied to various fields, including food, cosmetics, and agrochemical-related industries.

Assistant ProfessorElements are the fundamental building blocks of matter, consisting of atoms. To date, scientists have discovered 118 different elements. Currently, I am developing measurement techniques for these elements utilizing an instrument known as an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). Through these techniques, my research aims to elucidate the metabolic pathways of elements within living organisms.
Recent Topics of Interests:
A method to accurately measure trace amounts of elements contained within a single nanoparticle or a single cell
Motto in Research or in Life:
Utilizing the lessons from past failures to pave the way for success.
