Modomics Medicine Lab (Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores how RNA modifications relate to metabolism, immunity, aging, and disease.
AboutAbout the lab
Comprehensively analyzing RNA modifications to understand the body's mechanisms and diseases
The Modomics Medicine lab centers its research on "modomics," the comprehensive study of the chemical modifications that occur on molecules in the body.
Under external stress or internal factors such as disease and aging, various molecules undergo chemical modification, gain new functions, and affect the activity of cells and organs.
The lab focuses on RNA modifications in particular, studying their relationship to physiological functions such as metabolism, immunity, and aging, as well as to human diseases.
The lab's website also introduces the Modomics Pharmaceutical Sciences group of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Key terms
