Toshio Kodama, Professor
0 student voices
The Kodama Lab in the Department of Molecular Bacteriology studies the molecular mechanisms by which enteric bacterial pathogens exert pathogenicity. The lab also works to clarify the evolutionary processes that explain why particular bacterial strains cause global epidemics. Because of the AMR (antimicrobial resistance) problem, infection control that relies on antimicrobials alone is reaching its limits. By understanding these mechanisms, the lab aims to create concepts and methods that lead to new infection control strategies that do not depend on antimicrobials. The department belongs to the Division of Infection Mechanisms at the Research Institute for Microbial Diseases.
Tokiko Watanabe, Professor

The Watanabe Lab in the Department of Molecular Virology studies viruses that cause zoonotic diseases, such as influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2. The lab investigates the mechanisms by which viruses are transmitted from animals to humans and how they cause disease. It also carries out research related to vaccine development and research on the epidemic status of viruses in wild animals in Africa and South America. The lab aims to apply its findings to infectious disease control in Japan and abroad.
Masahiro Yamamoto, Professor

The Yamamoto Lab in the Department of Infection Pathogenesis studies, at the molecular level, the battle between pathogenic protozoan parasites or cancer and the host immunity that tries to eliminate them. From the viewpoint of host immunity, pathogens and cancer are alike in being foreign entities to be removed, and the lab believes that anti-pathogen immunity and anti-tumor immunity are remarkably similar. Using Toxoplasma gondii as a model, the lab uses genetically modified mice and parasites to investigate both the parasite side and the host side. The lab belongs to the Research Institute for Microbial Diseases and also serves as the Immunoparasitology laboratory of the Immunology Frontier Research Center (IFReC).
Kosuke Fujimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Fujimoto Lab aims to understand the human microbiome in fine detail and to elucidate how various diseases, including immune diseases, develop. Metagenomic analysis with next-generation sequencers is advancing, and it is becoming clear, one finding after another, that human diseases are closely linked to symbiotic pathogenic bacteria (pathobionts). The lab also puts effort into training researchers versed in both experimental (wet) and computational (dry) approaches. Going beyond the boundary between basic and clinical research, the lab pursues its work from both immunology and microbiology.
