A lab aiming to develop cancer diagnostics and therapies based on an understanding of cancer invasion and metastasis.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding cancer through the tumor microenvironment.
The Ochiai Lab aims to develop cancer diagnostics and therapies that combine new scientific knowledge and technology, based on an understanding of the essence of cancer and the mechanisms of invasion and metastasis.
In particular, the lab has been studying cancer as a living organism from the perspective of the tumor microenvironment.
Beyond cancer diagnosis and treatment, the lab is also working to understand the systems that connect healthcare to implementation in society, including cancer prevention, drug resistance, patient follow-up, and screening.
Lecturer Shuhei Ogawa, a faculty member, works in the fields of immunology and laboratory animal science.
