Organic Chemistry Lab (Yagi Lab)

AboutAbout the lab

Designing original molecules to go beyond the value of existing ones

The Yagi Lab studies organic chemistry in which new molecules are designed and actually synthesized.
Believing that there is science that opens up only because molecules can be synthesized, the lab works on synthetic chemistry.
The lab wants to design original molecules that only it can synthesize and to take on highly challenging syntheses.
Founded in 2025, the lab holds three slogans: "Be one of a kind," "Live hungrily," and "Value awareness of others and the world."

ResearchResearch themes

Its strength is being able to design new molecules and actually synthesize them, and the lab values "making unexplored, structurally highly challenging molecules," "making important molecules efficiently," and "discovering unknown functions and potential for further development in molecules." Envisioning the creation of giant substances with interesting structures as if they were molecules, the lab aims to establish "molecule-originated synthetic chemistry" and to lead next-generation science.

Ratings and reviews reflect the experiences of individual current or former students, not the lab's official views. Whether a lab has reviews, or how many, says nothing about the lab itself.
