AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the pathology and treatment of brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease
The Surgery Division of the Brain and Neurological Diseases Research Institute conducts research in neurosurgery, mainly on brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease.
The Professor works on molecular biological analysis of the pathology and treatment sensitivity of malignant brain tumors.
The Associate Professor is involved in clinical work, research, and education in neurosurgery, and lists higher brain dysfunction in cerebrovascular disease and treatments for glioblastoma among the research themes.
Key terms
- Glioblastoma
- A type of malignant brain tumor. The lab studies treatments for it.
- Moyamoya disease
- A disease of the blood vessels in the brain. The lab covers it in a theme examining its relationship with higher brain function.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab investigates the mechanisms and treatments of brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease, its main subjects. The Professor lists themes related to glioblastoma treatment among the research themes, and the Associate Professor lists themes related to cerebrovascular disease and glioblastoma.
*Illustrative imageCAR-T cell therapy for glioblastoma
A theme studying CAR-T cell therapy for glioblastoma. It is listed in the Professor's researcher information as an ongoing research theme since April 2025.
*Illustrative imageGlioblastoma treatment targeting mitochondria
A theme working to elucidate molecular mechanisms toward establishing a glioblastoma treatment that targets mitochondria. The keywords in the researcher information are oncogenes and metabolic abnormalities.
*Illustrative imageHigher brain dysfunction in cerebrovascular disease
A theme examining impairments of higher brain function and executive function that occur in cerebrovascular diseases such as moyamoya disease and internal carotid artery stenosis.
*Illustrative imageTreatments that suppress glioblastoma growth and invasion
A theme exploring treatments that suppress the growth and invasion of glioblastoma. It is listed in the researcher information as a research theme of the Associate Professor.
