AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how bacteria and humans can live together.
This lab, which studies bacterial coexistence, researches ways for both gut bacteria and pathogenic bacteria to live and coexist well with humans.
The lab's website introduces the field of gut bacteria and gut flora as increasingly shown to be linked to improved immunity and anticancer effects in humans.
Pathogenic bacteria, meanwhile, have drawn attention for their rapid acquisition of drug resistance in recent years, and the lab explains that this is also closely connected to gut flora.
Associate Professor Seiji Yamasaki is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Advanced Co-Creation Studies, and also holds concurrent appointments at the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research and the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Key terms
- Gut flora
- The community of bacteria living in the gut (gut microbiota). The website says its link to human health is increasingly being shown.
- Pathogenic bacteria
- Harmful bacteria that the website describes as incompatible with humans.
- Drug resistance
- The condition in which drugs become less effective against bacteria. The website states that it has been advancing rapidly in recent years.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to build relationships of symbiosis and coexistence with humans, targeting both gut bacteria and pathogenic bacteria. To that end, it conducts research on making better use of gut bacteria and research toward overcoming drug-resistant bacterial infections.
*Illustrative imageThe symbiotic relationship between gut bacteria and humans
By controlling the activity of gut bacteria, the lab aims to build a better symbiotic relationship with humans. This is research on making better use of gut bacteria.
*Illustrative imageThe coexistence between pathogenic bacteria and humans
By suppressing the pathogenicity and colonization ability of pathogenic bacteria, the lab aims to curb the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and build a new coexistence with humans. This is research toward overcoming drug-resistant bacterial infections.
MembersFaculty
