The lab studies the battle between oral bacteria and the immune system to understand oral and systemic health.
AboutAbout the lab
Protecting oral and systemic health through the battle between microbes and immunity
The lab conducts education and research that clarify the interplay between oral microorganisms and host immunity, in order to protect systemic health starting from the mouth.
The mouth is a front line that faces infection every day, and within it pathogenic microorganisms, the commensal microbiota, and the immune system interact in a complex three-way struggle.
From the standpoint of basic research, the lab centers on immune responses and focuses on those induced by oral pathogenic bacteria.
In an environment where the faculty act as coaches who draw out students' initiative and respect the individual, members come from diverse backgrounds, not only dental school graduates.
