Tetsuya Tetsuya, Professor

The Bacterial Infection Division (Tetsuya Lab) studies, based on pathogen genome information, the mechanisms by which pathogens infect hosts and cause symptoms. Centering on Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which lives in seawater, the lab investigates the apparatus that causes food poisoning and how it works. Using next-generation sequencers, the lab finds new pathogens and also aims to clarify how infectious diseases of unknown cause arise. The lab is part of the Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, and accepts graduate students from the Graduate School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences.

The Viral Immunology Division (Kobayashi Lab) studies viruses of the order Reovirales, such as rotavirus and bat-derived reovirus, and norovirus of the family Caliciviridae. Using reverse genetics, a technique for artificially constructing and manipulating viral genes, the lab investigates how viruses replicate and how they cause disease. The lab is also considering research that puts viruses to use, such as developing virus-based therapeutics and vaccine vectors. The lab is located in the Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, Osaka University, and accepts graduate students from the Graduate School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences.

Yoshiharu Matsura, Professor

The Virus Control Group (Matsura Lab) studies viruses with pandemic potential. Viruses are organisms that can multiply only inside living cells, and to the cell they are unwelcome guests. Focusing on hepatitis C virus, the lab investigates how viruses multiply inside cells, cause disease, and evade the immune system. The lab belongs to the Center for Infectious Disease Education and Research and the Research Institute for Microbial Diseases at the University of Osaka, and brings together people from varied backgrounds such as agriculture, medicine, engineering, and science.

The Malaria Vaccine Development Group (Horii Lab) is developing a highly effective vaccine against falciparum malaria for practical use. At the same time, the lab analyzes the molecular mechanisms of the antigen genes that underpin the vaccine, aiming to apply its findings in vaccine development. Falciparum malaria infects many people worldwide and causes many deaths, and the spread of drug-resistant strains is also a problem. The lab belongs to the Research Center for Intractable Infectious Diseases and conducts its research as the Endowed Department for Malaria Vaccine Development.
