Hiroshi Murakami, Professor
0 student voices
The Murakami Lab draws on knowledge from both chemistry and biology to create molecules useful for biological research and drug development. It also combines the molecules it makes to build new methods in analytical chemistry. Its current focus is creating artificial antibodies that bind to chosen targets, using TRAP display, a method developed in the lab. No specialized knowledge of chemistry or biology is required; the lab advances its research by discussing ideas together.
Hiroyuki Asanuma, Professor
0 student voices
The Asanuma Lab uses nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, as well as peptides, to study molecules whose functions go beyond those of natural materials. Learning from the excellent mechanisms of living things, the lab designs molecules to create new tools for biotechnology, next-generation nucleic acid therapeutics, and nanomaterials. It also investigates how the tools and materials it creates work, using methods from physical chemistry and structural biology.
Shigeki Kiyonaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Kiyonaka Lab builds research tools, grounded in chemistry, to uncover the complex workings of living systems at the molecular level. Using chemogenetics, a method that combines organic chemistry and genetic engineering, the lab aims to control the function of proteins in targeted cells. With a particular focus on the brain, the lab is working to develop methodologies that are essential for understanding how memory works and for elucidating psychiatric disorders.
Takao Yasui, Professor
0 student voices
The lab aims to advance understanding of how living systems work by creating new measurement principles and technologies based on chemistry. Using nanomaterials and nanodevices, it develops methods to observe life at the level of molecules and minute particles. It also works to apply its findings to diagnosis and medicine, including the social implementation of technology for detecting cancer risk early. Its members come from fields such as chemistry, materials science, medicine, and information science, and take on new research without being bound by disciplinary boundaries.
Ryuji Kato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Cellular and Molecular Informatics Lab connects cells, molecules, and information from an engineering perspective, and studies practical technologies that support drug discovery and regenerative medicine. The lab runs research themes in three areas: regenerative medicine, drug discovery screening, and medical device development. Each member learns both experimental skills, such as cell culture and gene analysis, and computational skills, such as image analysis and statistical analysis, while doing research. Through joint research with people from many fields, such as physicians and companies, the lab aims to do research that leads to manufacturing (monozukuri).
Taishi Takenobu, Professor
0 student voices
The Takenobu Lab studies “pi-electron materials” such as organic materials, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. These materials are made mainly of carbon, and their carbon atoms are linked by a distinctive type of bond called a “pi bond.” Making use of their physical characteristics, the lab works on a wide range of topics, from fundamental studies of physical properties to applications in devices.
Hideo Kishida, Professor
0 student voices
The Kishida Lab studies the properties of materials using light. Using a variety of spectroscopic methods, it examines how materials with “low-dimensional electron systems,” in which electrons are confined in thin chains or thin layers, behave in response to light. The lab aims to clarify the electronic states and optical properties inside materials and to control the state of light.
Shao-Liang Zhang, Professor
0 student voices
The Zhang-Sogabe Lab studies algorithms for fast computation, based on the theory of numerical analysis and applied mathematics. Using the methods it develops, the lab solves problems that arise in fields such as computational physics through computation on computers. Its research has two sides: an “algebraic” side that solves equations quickly and accurately, and an “analytic” side that deals with the theory of differential equations and data assimilation. The lab pursues its research on the idea that the faster computers become, the more the speed of algorithms matters.
Hajime Sagayama, Professor
0 student voices
The Sagayama Lab studies the structure and fluctuations of materials using quantum beams such as synchrotron X-rays, neutrons, and muons. Its subject, strongly correlated electron systems, is sensitive to external stimuli such as electric fields, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic waves, and shows complex responses. The lab aims to clarify the microscopic mechanisms behind these responses. The lab operates one of the beamlines at Aichi SR, a synchrotron radiation facility in Aichi Prefecture, and also uses it for its own research.
Koh Saitoh, Professor
0 student voices
The Saitoh Lab studies materials using electron beams. Because electrons have a much shorter wavelength than light, an electron microscope can image objects on the nanometer scale that are difficult to see with an optical microscope. Beyond magnified imaging, it can also perform elemental analysis and analyze electronic states and crystal structures. Currently, the lab is working on research that uses electron vortex beams for observation, a transmission electron microscope that uses spin-polarized electron beams, and the development of an electron microscope that captures extremely fast changes.
