The lab studies material transport inside the body using mechanical analysis and cell experiments.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding how substances are transported in the body to contribute to medicine
The Sera Lab studies the phenomenon in which substances are carried and move within the body (biologistics).
Organs and tissues work together, and various substances are transported and localized, which maintains homeostasis in the body.
Using mechanical analysis, cell culture experiments, and imaging technology, the lab aims to understand this mechanism and contribute to medicine.
Topics not covered in undergraduate education are learned through reading group sessions after students are assigned to the lab.
