The lab conducts research aimed at clinical application, working to elucidate the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases and to develop new treatments.
AboutAbout the lab
Aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases and to develop new treatments.
The respiratory medicine lab pursues research aimed at clinical application, with the main themes of elucidating the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases and developing new treatments.
Clinical care is divided into groups for neoplastic lung diseases, diffuse lung diseases, infectious diseases, and asthma/COPD.
The professor states that it is necessary to explore the molecular mechanisms that control disease processes, and to bring findings from basic research into clinical practice through scientifically and ethically sound, high-precision clinical research.
Key terms
- Diffuse lung disease
- A group of lung diseases that includes interstitial pneumonia.
- Clinical trial
- Research that evaluates the safety and efficacy of drugs, treatments, or diagnostic methods.
- Clinical trial for drug approval (chiken)
- A clinical trial conducted to obtain approval for a new drug.

*Illustrative imageElucidating the mechanisms of intractable respiratory diseases
The lab aims to elucidate the molecular biological mechanisms of intractable respiratory diseases and to apply them to treatment. Research keywords are interstitial pneumonia, asthma, and COPD.
*Illustrative imageElucidating the mechanisms of lung cancer and applying them to treatment
The lab investigates the molecular-level mechanisms of lung cancer development and progression, with the aim of applying them to treatment. Research keywords are lung cancer, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), and antibody-drug conjugates.
*Illustrative imageClinical trials and investigator-initiated trials
To develop new treatments for neoplastic respiratory diseases, mainly lung cancer, the lab participates in multicenter collaborative research groups and conducts clinical trials. It also runs several investigator-initiated clinical trials, which physicians plan, design, and carry out themselves.
