Life Quantum Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab advances, from the pharmaceutical side, a treatment that targets cancer precisely with neutrons and boron.
AboutAbout the lab
Neutron capture therapy, from pharmacy and life science.
The Life Quantum Analysis lab conducts research that contributes to the advancement of cancer treatment from the perspectives of pharmaceutical sciences and life sciences, centered on the neutron capture therapy performed at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science, Kyoto University.
In June 2025, the lab became a cooperating division of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Department of Pharmacy), and it will begin accepting graduate students (master's and doctoral) from the 2027 academic year admissions.
Key terms
- Boron neutron capture therapy
- A treatment in which neutrons are directed at boron that has accumulated in the cancer, and the resulting nuclear reaction destroys only the cancer cells. Also called BNCT
- Molecular imaging probe
- A compound that binds to a specific molecule in the body and shows its location in an image
- Treatment resistance
- The process in which, as treatment continues, a cancer becomes less responsive to drugs or radiation
- Biomarker
- A substance in the body that provides clues about the state of a disease or how well a treatment is working
