AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how oral, peripheral, and brain inflammation relate to systemic disease
To put into practice the Faculty of Dental Science's philosophy of "contributing to overall health through oral health," the Oral Functional Molecular Science Lab carries out both life science research and dental research.
The lab explores how oral inflammation, peripheral inflammation, and neuroinflammation relate to systemic diseases.
In addition to educating graduate students, the lab is responsible for teaching pharmacology to undergraduate students.
Through their research, the lab's members meet researchers from around the world and share their findings globally.
Key terms
- Antitumor immunity
- The action of the body's immune system against cancer cells.
- Chronic inflammation
- A state in which inflammation continues for a long time.
- Neurodegenerative diseases
- A general term for diseases in which nerve cells are gradually damaged and lost.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab explores how oral inflammation, peripheral inflammation, and neuroinflammation relate to diseases throughout the body. The lab's website introduces the following four themes.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of Molecules That Enhance Antitumor Immunity
The lab analyzes how new anticancer signaling molecules that activate antitumor immunity work.
*Illustrative imageChronic Inflammation and Abnormal Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
The lab studies abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism caused by chronic inflammation in peripheral tissues.
*Illustrative imageResearch on Dementia and Neurodegenerative Diseases
The lab conducts research on Alzheimer's disease dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
*Illustrative imageEffects of Systemic Chronic Inflammation on the Brain
The lab studies how chronic systemic inflammation affects brain function.
