AboutAbout the lab
Evaluating cancer diagnosis and treatment through clinical research
Prof. Baba's lab, part of the Collaborative Oncology division of the Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, conducts clinical research that evaluates diagnosis and treatment in patient populations with conditions such as malignant tumors.
The lab also searches for biomarkers related to diagnosis and treatment, using clinical specimens from patients and healthy individuals.
Based on the information obtained from specimen analysis, the lab carries out molecular biology and immunology analyses to look for seeds for translational research.
In the Faculty of Collaborative Regional Innovation, Prof. Baba teaches "Science of Cancer and Health," a course that aims at a comprehensive understanding of cancer care.
Key terms
- Biomarker
- A substance or value that serves as an indicator of the state of the body, related to diagnosis and treatment.
- Translational research
- Research that links research seeds obtained from tests and experiments to clinical care for patients.

*Illustrative imagePersonalized Medicine Using Cancer Genomic Testing
The lab works on developing personalized medicine for solid tumors based on cancer genomic profiling tests. This research concerns drug therapy.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of the Immune Microenvironment in Gastrointestinal Cancer
The lab studies the immune environment surrounding gastrointestinal cancers. T lymphocytes and tertiary lymphoid structures are keywords of this research.
*Illustrative imageExosomes from Immune Cells and Tumor Cells
The lab aims to clarify the functions in the body of exosomes produced by human immune cells and tumor cells, and the mechanisms that regulate how they are produced. The keywords are HLA, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and tumor cells.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of Drug Therapy for Solid Tumors
The lab works on developing drug therapy for malignant solid tumors. The targets are chemotherapy, molecularly targeted therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibition.
