Keizo Tomonaga, Professor

Every virus multiplies and spreads by skillfully exploiting the machinery of the organism it infects. Understanding viruses leads not only to understanding their pathogenicity and survival strategies, but also to clarifying how life itself works. Viruses, which infect every kind of organism on Earth, are also thought to have been indispensable partners in our evolution. The RNA Virus Lab (Tomonaga Lab) takes "understanding viruses to explore life" as its research goal.

The Ultrastructural Virology Lab (Noda Lab) focuses on viruses that cause disease in humans, such as influenza virus, Ebola virus, and Lassa virus, and aims to elucidate how they replicate inside cells and how they cause disease. The lab specializes in visual analysis using various electron microscopy methods, including cryo-electron microscopy, and can reveal the structures of virus particles and infected cells at a range of resolutions. The lab also incorporates techniques from other fields, such as structural biology and developmental biology.

The Cancer Virology Lab (Sakai group) studies virus–cell interactions in detail, aiming to elucidate how viral infection causes cancer and to develop ways to control it. Its main research subject is human papillomavirus, which causes cervical cancer. Regarding the admission of graduate students, prospective applicants are advised to contact the lab.

The Cell Regulation Lab studies immunology from a new angle called "lipid immunity." Unlike conventional T cells that recognize proteins (peptides), there are known to be T cells that recognize lipids and lipid-linked peptides. The lab aims to elucidate the full picture of this new form of immunity and to develop new lipid vaccines. Regarding the admission of graduate students, prospective applicants are advised to contact the lab.

The Viral Molecular Pathogenesis Lab (Kato Lab) studies large DNA viruses such as herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus, working to understand infectious diseases and to uncover biological phenomena. Viruses not only cause disease but also serve as a "mirror of life" that reveals hidden, unknown rules of living systems. The lab analyzes the battle between viruses and their hosts at the molecular level, aiming to discover principles of life not yet in textbooks and to create new treatments. The lab welcomes anyone who wants to take on the mysteries of life, regardless of background.
