The lab explores how chemical modifications of RNA relate to metabolism, immunity, aging, and disease.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring life functions and disease through RNA modifications
The Modomics Pharmaceutical Sciences Lab studies "modomics," the comprehensive investigation of the chemical modifications that occur on molecules in the body.
Focusing in particular on RNA modifications, the lab investigates how they relate to physiological functions such as metabolism, immunity, and aging, and to human diseases.
The lab is introduced on the same site as the Modomics Medicine lab at the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University.
Lab visits are accepted at any time.
Key terms
- Modomics
- An approach that comprehensively analyzes the chemical modifications of biomolecules. The name combines "modification" and "omics."
- RNA modification
- A phenomenon in which chemical changes are added to RNA. It affects the functions of cells and organs

ResearchResearch themes
In the body, triggered by external stress, disease, aging, and other factors, various biomolecules undergo chemical modifications that give them new functions and affect the functions of cells and organs. The lab has named the comprehensive analysis of these modifications modomics, and it conducts research focusing in particular on RNA modifications.
