Experimental Immunology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
Starting from T cells, the lab searches for immune mechanisms that are not yet known.
AboutAbout the lab
Discovering unknown immune systems.
The Experimental Immunology Lab studies the mechanisms of the immune system, with T cells as its main subject.
It has become clear that T cells not only eliminate foreign substances such as pathogens and tumors but also repair tissue damaged by inflammation and maintain tissue homeostasis.
Immunity is thought to be not merely a mechanism for eliminating pathogens but one that is essential for maintaining homeostasis of the whole body.
The lab aims to discover immune systems that are not yet known and to use them to control disease.
Key terms
- T cells
- Lymphocytes at the center of immunity, which recognize and eliminate foreign substances.
- Regulatory T cells
- T cells that act in the direction of suppressing immune activity.
- Homeostasis
- The function of keeping conditions inside the body within a fixed range.
NewsLab news
A graduate student won the Best Poster Award at the Self-Directed Immunology Young Investigator Workshop
A paper by a Project Assistant Professor was published in Science Advances
A Project Assistant Professor won the Best Poster Award, and a graduate student won the Best Presentation Award

ResearchResearch themes
T cells, the lab's main research subject, comprise various subsets. They not only eliminate foreign substances such as pathogens and tumors but also repair tissue damaged by inflammation and maintain homeostasis. The lab aims to discover unknown biological phenomena significant enough to be written into textbooks, and to control disease.
