Statistical Immunology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab seeks to uncover the pathology of immune diseases from patients' genomic information.
AboutAbout the lab
Approaching the causes of immune diseases through statistical genetics.
The Statistical Immunology Lab specializes in statistical genetics, which evaluates the link between genetic information and traits from a statistical perspective.
It is known that, in addition to environmental factors, an individual's genetic background is strongly involved in the onset of immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
By examining the genomic information of patients with immune diseases, the lab aims to identify disease-causing genes, clarify disease pathology, and contribute to new drug discovery.
The lab belongs to the Bioinformatics Group of the Immunology Frontier Research Center.
Key terms
- statistical genetics
- The field that evaluates the link between genetic information and traits from a statistical perspective

ResearchResearch themes
With advances in genome sequencing technologies, typified by next-generation sequencers, an era has arrived in which large volumes of genomic data can be obtained. Through the analysis of human genetic information and the development of new statistical genetics methods, this lab aims to clarify disease pathology, advance genome-based drug discovery, and establish personalized medicine.
