Yuma Ito, Assistant Professor

The Joint Research Division of Deep Omics Analysis at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation develops spatial omics technologies that simultaneously capture where each cell is located in a tissue and what it expresses. The lab works on a method that combines a technique for writing positional information into cells as molecular barcodes with single-cell gene expression analysis, reconstructing tissue as a spatial map of single cells. The lab is also developing a technology that simultaneously visualizes chemical modifications of RNAs and proteins inside cells, and uses AI image analysis to investigate where in the cell RNAs that disrupt normal cell function act.
Andre Fujita, Professor

The Network AI Statistical Analysis Joint Research Division is a joint research division of the Medical Institute of Bioregulation. A paper for which Prof. Fujita served as last author covers a method for efficiently examining large networks using graph spectra and a method for statistically examining directed networks. The paper also introduces statGraph, an R package that bundles statistical analyses such as network comparison and clustering. Prof. Fujita is also a coauthor of a paper that examined brain functional connectivity and gene expression data using network concepts.

The Nakatani Higher-Order Life Dynamics Lab is an endowed research division established at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu University. Principal Professor Yasuyuki Ohkawa specializes in epigenetics, genome regulation, chromatin biology, stem cell biology, and trans-omics medicine. Prof. Ohkawa develops and applies genome and epigenome analysis technologies to elucidate the mechanisms of cell fate determination, tissue homeostasis, aging, regeneration, and disease onset. In recent years, Prof. Ohkawa has been advancing research on muscle stem cells, immune cells, and hepatocytes using spatial omics and 3D genome analysis.

The linked website belongs to Associate Professor Hiroki Shibata's genomics field, which focuses on genomic diversity and phenotypes and conducts research mainly using next-generation sequencers. Associate Professor Takehito Uruno studies signal transduction, cytoskeletal regulation, lipid metabolism, and disease control. Assistant Professor Daisuke Tsuchimoto studies the effects of damage to DNA and free nucleotides on mammals, as well as the body's defense mechanisms.
Yoshihiro Kangawa, Professor

The lab studies next-generation semiconductors as functional materials that contribute to energy saving and the SDGs, aimed at applications such as high-efficiency power conversion devices and deep ultraviolet light sources. Next-generation semiconductors are industrially produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), but the process is a complex system in which several elementary processes are intertwined. The lab develops eXS2-CVD, a simulation technology that reproduces the entire CVD process in virtual space. The lab also works on "process informatics," which uses AI to search for optimal growth conditions.
Wataru Saito, Professor

The Saito Lab conducts research and development on power semiconductor devices to realize a low-carbon society, aiming to create a new power network. Power electronics is a field of technology for controlling electrical energy and using it effectively, and the semiconductor devices used to control electricity in its circuits are called power semiconductor devices. As efforts to increase power generation from renewable energy sources that do not emit CO2 advance worldwide, it is considered essential to use generated electricity without waste and to keep generation and consumption in balance so that power can be used stably. The lab is part of the Energy Conversion Engineering Division of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, and is introduced on the website under the name "Saito Lab."

The New Energy Systems Engineering Lab aims to realize next-generation power electronics, studying everything from foundational materials to new energy grids. In cooperation with the Energy Conversion Engineering Lab, it carries out vertically integrated research that covers materials, devices, and systems in a single framework. Working with related research institutions and companies in Japan and abroad, it also promotes industry-academia collaboration, international collaboration, and the social implementation of research results. Its graduate program operates as a cooperating chair of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Life Energy Engineering Lab studies the mechanics of biological tissues such as bone and myocardium, and materials used in regenerative medicine. The lab is developing a biodevice that beats autonomously by combining cardiomyocytes made from iPS cells with synthetic polymer materials. In collaboration with clinical orthopedic surgeons, it also builds numerical models of bones and joints from clinical CT images and investigates how fractures occur using the finite element method. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Energy Conversion Engineering Field, Todo Lab."
Akira Kusaba, Associate Professor

The Materials Informatics Lab (Kusaba Lab) studies how atoms move during crystal growth, the process by which semiconductors are made. Because crystals grow in high-temperature gas or liquid phases, it is difficult to observe their atomic-scale behavior directly, and no one has yet seen the elementary growth processes. Building on first-principles calculations and machine-learning interatomic potentials, the lab aims to capture these elementary growth processes inside the computer. Approaching the problem from three perspectives (molecular dynamics, adsorption configurations, and elementary reaction rates), the lab investigates the growth of GaN (gallium nitride), a next-generation semiconductor.
Changhong Hu, Professor

The Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab studies the interaction between structures of complex shape and free-surface fluids from the fluid-dynamics side of ocean energy engineering and ocean environmental engineering. The lab works on developing and applying new computational fluid dynamics methods for coupled analysis of free-surface fluids and elastic structures, and for multiscale, multiphysics simulation. It also pursues related theoretical and experimental research at the same time. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Ocean Environment and Energy Engineering Lab."
