A cooperative graduate school lab where students explore cells and molecules in research groups at AIST.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying cells and molecules under AIST researchers
The Cell and Molecular Engineering Lab is a cooperative graduate school lab of the Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences, Degree Program in Medical Sciences, at the University of Tsukuba, supervised by researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).
The supervisors are Prof. Kuno, Prof. Sumaru, and Prof. Tateno, who correspond to the Molecular and Cellular Multi-omics, Molecular Function Application, and Multicellular System Control research groups, respectively.
The Sumaru group uses functional polymer materials to develop systems that efficiently capture cells and vesicles such as exosomes, as well as in vitro model systems that use human cells in place of animal experiments.
The Tateno group studies the microbiota, cancer cells, stem cells, and more using multi-omics analysis technology that simultaneously measures glycans and RNA in each single cell.
Key terms
- Multi-omics
- An approach that simultaneously measures and analyzes different types of molecules, such as glycans and RNA
- Exosomes
- A type of small sac (vesicle) released from cells. In this lab, they are given as an example of what the systems capture.
- In vitro model system
- An experimental system that uses human cells outside the body in place of animal experiments
ResearchResearch themes
Research groups at AIST are working on developing systems that capture cells and vesicles, and technologies that measure molecules in each single cell. The Tateno group's research aims to reveal cellular heterogeneity and to develop new therapeutics and diagnostics.
