Microbiome Ecology (Metabologenomics) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab integrates analyses of the gut microbiota and gut metabolites, aiming to control the gut environment.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing the gut to build a foundation for disease prevention and treatment.
The Metabologenomics field targets the gut environment, which has attracted attention for its links to a wide range of diseases, and studies technologies that can serve as a foundation for disease prevention and treatment.
The lab integrates two kinds of information: metagenomic analysis of the gut microbiota using massively parallel sequencers, and metabolomic analysis of gut metabolites using mass spectrometers.
Based on this integrated understanding (metabologenomics), the lab aims to create new medical technologies built on controlling the gut microbiota.
On the lab's website, it is introduced as the "Metabologenomics" field of the Division of Metabolic Physiology, Transborder Medical Research Center.
Key terms
- Metagenomic analysis
- An analysis that uses massively parallel sequencers to examine the gut microbiota from its genetic information
- Metabolomic analysis
- An analysis that uses mass spectrometers to examine the metabolites present in the gut
- Metabologenomics
- Integrating and understanding the information from metagenomic and metabolomic analyses. It is also the name of this field
ResearchResearch themes
This field has the motto "creating technologies for disease prevention and treatment through gut design," and targets the gut environment, which has attracted attention for its links to a wide range of diseases. Metagen, Inc. was established as a place to put appropriate control of the gut environment (gut design) into practice in society, and it works together with the lab's research to realize a society of healthy longevity.
