The lab aims to make kidney disease curable and to pioneer a new field of nephrology.
AboutAbout the lab
Making kidney disease curable.
With the mission of making kidney disease a curable disease and pioneering a new field of nephrology, the lab integrates clinical care, research, and education.
Advances in treatment, a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms, and the progress of personalized medicine are shifting kidney care from medicine that slows progression to medicine that predicts, selects, and intervenes.
Starting from clinical questions, the lab brings together understanding at the molecular, cellular, individual, and population levels, and conducts research that connects elucidating disease mechanisms to developing treatments and implementing them in society.
The lab aims to train physician scientists who can work on the international stage.
Key terms
- Personalized medicine
- Medicine that selects diagnosis and treatment according to each patient's constitution and the characteristics of their disease.
- Multi-omics
- An approach that comprehensively examines the molecules in the body, such as genes, proteins, and metabolites, across multiple layers.
- Onconephrology
- A new field covering the area where cancer treatment and the care of kidney disease overlap.
ResearchResearch themes
Grounded in phenomena observed in human kidney disease, the lab focuses on the mechanisms of repair and regeneration after kidney injury.
*Illustrative imageMechanisms of kidney repair and regeneration
Combining multi-omics analysis with intravital imaging, the lab investigates the inflammatory environment within the kidney, the cells responsible for kidney repair, and how those cells are regulated.
*Illustrative imagePersonalized care for kidney disease
To realize personalized medicine, the lab uses big data analysis and artificial intelligence. It is pioneering new fields such as onconephrology, the area where cancer and kidney disease overlap, to optimize diagnosis and treatment for each patient.
