Disease Data Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab takes on the diagnosis and drug discovery of intractable diseases such as cancer through data analysis.
AboutAbout the lab
A new horizon opened by data science
The Disease Data Science Lab conducts research on biomarker technologies, drug discovery technologies, and post-launch drug optimization technologies (ikuyaku) for intractable diseases such as cancer.
By analyzing large-scale data (big data) with computers, the lab aims to pursue everything in one continuous process, from molecular profiling to drug discovery and clinical application.
The lab is a joint research chair funded by companies and medical corporations, and it conducts research in collaboration with core departments such as Gastroenterological Surgery.
Graduate students who want to pursue a full-fledged research career in the future are welcome to join.
Key terms
- Biomarker
- A measurable indicator from the body that gives clues about whether a disease is present and what condition it is in
- Nematode
- A general name for the phylum Nematoda. A notable feature is that they have a better ability to sense odors than humans do
- Quantum sequencer
- A device that determines the base sequence of DNA and other molecules one molecule at a time, using quantum electric current (tunneling current)
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates intractable diseases with disease data science methods that analyze large-scale data, aiming to lead to new diagnostics and drug discovery. It covers a wide range of themes, including biomarkers, advanced measurement, model animals, nucleic acid modification, and epigenome-based drug discovery.
*Illustrative imageNew Biological Diagnosis Using Nematodes
To diagnose human diseases from multiple angles, the lab studies a new biomarker-based diagnostic method that uses nematodes. It is also conducting joint research with HIROTSU Bio Science Inc.
*Illustrative imageMeasurement with Mass Spectrometry and Quantum Sequencers
The lab works on mass spectrometry and quantum sequencers as technologies that go beyond next-generation sequencers. The former is carried out as joint research with IDEA Consultants, Inc., and the latter in collaboration with Professor Masateru Taniguchi of SANKEN (the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research).
Social Implementation of Advanced Technologies in Medicine
Working with clinical departments such as Gastroenterological Surgery, the lab trains people who understand advanced science and can show leadership in a fast-moving era. It carries out this work with Kinshukai Medical Corporation and Kyowakai Medical Corporation, based on society's needs.
*Illustrative imageResearch Using Advanced Model Animals
As preclinical studies for humans, the lab conducts animal experiments using model animals. For rare and intractable diseases, especially hereditary diseases, research with advanced animal models is important alongside disease research using iPS technology, and the lab does joint research with Unitech Co., Ltd.
