The lab uses data analysis and experiments to clarify the properties of cancer stem cells.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring cancer stem cells through data and experiments
The Akimoto Lab studies cancer stem cells, which are thought to cause cancer recurrence after treatment.
Based on findings from analyzing patients' cancer genomics data, the lab combines data science and experiments to investigate the properties of cancer stem cells.
Once these properties are clarified, new anticancer drugs and treatments that target cancer stem cells can be expected to follow.
Key terms
- Cancer stem cells
- Cells that are resistant to anticancer drugs and radiation therapy and are thought to cause recurrence after treatment
- Cancer genomics
- A field that deals with data on cancer genomes (genetic information). In this lab, findings are extracted by analyzing patient data
- Data science
- Methods for extracting findings by analyzing data. The lab uses it to analyze patient data and combines it with experiments
