Yukihiro Nomura, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Nomura Lab analyzes medical images such as CT and MRI and researches technologies that support diagnostic imaging. To reduce the burden on physicians and improve diagnostic accuracy, the lab develops computer-aided diagnosis/detection (CAD) software. The lab also works on prediction methods that combine image information with clinical information to support decisions on treatment plans for individual patients.
Shigeki Matsuda, Associate Professor

Prof. Matsuda specializes in the ramification theory of algebraic varieties and p-adic analysis.
Kenta Sato, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Prof. Sato studies algebraic geometry. It is a field that regards the set of solutions of equations as a shape and investigates its form and properties. The lab's research centers on singularities that appear in the world known as positive characteristic. The professor is also interested in higher-dimensional algebraic geometry related to the minimal model program.
Hiroshige Kajiura, Professor

Prof. Kajiura specializes in algebraic topology. The professor is interested in how algebraic structures such as operads and homotopy algebras relate to geometry. The research keywords include deformation quantization and noncommutative geometry, algebra using categories, and string theory and homological mirror symmetry.

The Surface Chemistry Lab investigates chemical reactions that occur on solid surfaces and pioneers sustainable chemistry. If shining light on a photocatalyst can convert carbon dioxide into fuels and chemical feedstocks, it will be possible to build a system that recycles carbon. Because surface reactions are complex, the lab follows changes in molecules and surfaces in situ using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. It also traces reaction pathways with isotopes and follows the elementary steps of reactions using density functional theory calculations.

The Structural Chemistry Lab conducts research on the theme of "static and dynamic structural chemistry of disordered systems." The samples it studies include supercritical fluids, liquids and solutions, and ionic liquids. The lab examines the arrangement and fluctuations of atoms with X-ray scattering experiments, and time-related information with spectroscopy experiments using light. By adding the dimension of time to static structures, the lab aims to understand its subjects from more perspectives.

The Organic Reaction Chemistry Lab works on developing reactions that are environmentally benign. The lab develops new methods of molecular transformation that make skillful use of halogen elements such as iodine and bromine. It also takes on the design of catalysts made only of organic molecules, which drive reactions without metals. The lab aims to realize in the flask the precise organic reactions that take place inside living organisms.
Takeshi Murata, Professor

The Biological Structural Chemistry Lab conducts research aimed at elucidating the structure and function of biomolecules. In particular, the lab works on structural analysis and functional control of membrane proteins embedded in cell membranes, and applies this work to drug discovery and to understanding how life works. Using X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, the lab examines structures in detail down to the molecular level. The lab uses computer simulations to predict protein dynamics and interactions, and also has applications to drug development through industry-academia collaboration in view.

The Biopolymer Chemistry Lab studies the mechanisms by which cells recognize one another, using mammalian cells. The lab aims to clarify, from the standpoint of chemical structure, why egg and sperm bind only to partners of the matching animal species at fertilization. The research also makes use of genetic engineering and immunochemical methods.

The Cell Function Regulation Lab studies the mechanisms that allow cells to proliferate and survive over time. Cell function declines with the number of cell divisions and the passage of time, a process called cellular senescence. Its causes are varied, including genome damage, dysfunction of organelles, and protein denaturation. Using budding yeast, pathogenic fungi, cultured mammalian cells, and mice, the lab investigates the molecular mechanisms from the perspectives of chromosome maintenance and protein quality control.
