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.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Examining the relationship between physical properties of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations in COVID-19 vaccines and their therapeutic effects and side effects
Motto in Research or in Life:
To measure, evaluate, and make decisions from multiple perspectives and methods.

ProfessorMy research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which plants produce a diverse range of compounds that can serve as medicines or poisons. By studying the genetic aspects of catalytic enzymes involved in substance production, regulatory factors, and proteins responsible for substance transport and self-resistance, I aim to shed light on the evolutionary pathways in this process.
Recent Topics of Interest: Relationship between biodiversity and human society: How should human society be in the order of the natural world, and what will happen in the future?
Motto in Research or in Life: A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Hobby / Holiday: Leisurely unwind and enjoy

ProfessorMy research focuses on the development of innovative methodologies and catalytic reactions in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. I strive to create synthetic methods for molecules with biological activity. I utilize computational chemistry techniques to design functional molecules and unravel the mechanisms of chemical reactions. My ultimate goal is to develop organic molecules that can be applied in medicinal chemistry research.
Recent Topics of Interest: Developing novel synthetic chemistry techniques for linking molecules at the skeletal level
Motto in Research or in Life:
If you're going to aim for something, strive to be the best in the world.
Embrace your failures as opportunities for growth; they will make you stronger.
Make generous investments in your future endeavors.
