Hayashi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that analyzes proteins comprehensively to read the state of the body.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing life as a system of proteins
The Hayashi Lab regards life as a system made of proteins and conducts research focused on proteins.
This is because the lab holds that the properties and state of a cell are determined by the types, amounts, and states of the proteins in it.
The lab aims to put proteomics, a technology for analyzing proteins collectively, into practical use and apply it to diagnosis and treatment.
It also works on developing artificial antibodies based on a new concept.
Key terms
- Proteomics
- Comprehensively examining the types, amounts, and states of the proteins in cells and the body all at once
- Two-dimensional electrophoresis
- A method that separates proteins in sequence by two properties, making it possible to distinguish many types at once
- Antibody
- A protein in the body that binds only to a specific target; it can capture a targeted molecule
ResearchResearch themes
Genes are the blueprints of proteins, and it is the proteins made from that information that run the cell. Viewing life as a system whose components are proteins, the lab develops both technologies to examine its state comprehensively and technologies to manipulate its functions.
*Illustrative imageNext-generation proteomics
The lab is improving two-dimensional electrophoresis, a foundation of proteomics, so that it can handle many samples at once and analyze even very small samples, aiming to apply it to disease diagnosis and the development of treatments. It is currently developing a compact, portable device and algorithms that automatically analyze large amounts of data.
*Illustrative imageManipulating life with artificial antibodies
Antibodies are proteins that bind only to a specific target. The lab is developing antibody drugs based on a previously unseen concept (a therapeutic antibody for AIDS) and methods to control antibody function.
