Global Pharmacy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab covers everything from identifying disease-specific molecules to designing molecules for drug discovery.
AboutAbout the lab
Finding disease molecules and linking them to drug discovery.
The lab works on identifying disease-specific molecules using clinical specimens and analyzing the functions of those molecules.
Its research also focuses on molecular design for drug discovery, developing platforms for converting large molecules into small molecules, and research support toward practical application.
Kyushu University's researcher information lists Prof. Maenaka's research theme as "protein science research related to immune and infectious diseases."
Prof. Maenaka also holds a concurrent appointment at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University.
Key terms
- Structural biology
- A field that studies the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules such as proteins in order to understand how they work.
- X-ray crystallography
- A method that determines the three-dimensional structure of a molecule by crystallizing a protein and exposing it to X-rays.
- Cryo-electron microscopy
- A method that determines the three-dimensional structure of a molecule by imaging a frozen sample with an electron microscope.
