The lab studies the roles that metal ions play in biological processes by synthesizing metal complexes. Its research involves designing and synthesizing model complexes of biological metal sites and investigating their biomimetic functions. The lab aims to deepen understanding of the environments in which metal ions express biological functions, and to create artificial proteins with biomimetic functions. The Department of Chemistry lists the lab as a concurrent-appointment course of the Center for Education in Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The lab develops methods for synthesizing proteins, peptides, and glycoconjugates, and studies their physiological functions. Based on solution-phase chemical synthesis, the lab also develops protecting groups and solvent systems that make intermediates formed during synthesis more soluble. The synthesized samples are used in joint research with researchers in Japan and abroad to investigate the mechanisms by which bioactivity arises. The Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka lists the lab as a collaborative, concurrent-appointment chair.

The Vaccine Materials Project focuses on the unique characteristics of mucosal immunity and conducts research that leads to the development of mucosal vaccines and immunotherapies. Mucosal vaccines delivered by inhalation or orally have been put into practical use for some infectious diseases. Extending them to many other infectious diseases and allergies requires developing vaccine materials such as vaccine delivery systems and adjuvants. Project Leader Jun Kunisawa also serves as a Visiting Professor in the cooperative graduate school program of the Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka. The lab's website presents it under the name "Vaccine Materials Project."

The Polymer Reaction Chemistry Lab studies the development of synthetic methods for polymers that make use of the properties of metal elements, and the creation of functional polymers. By precisely designing new transition metal complexes at the molecular level and investigating their reactivity, the lab develops new polymerization catalysts. Based on synthetic organic chemistry, the lab achieves a high degree of control over polymer structure and also explores functionalization that takes advantage of that structure. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Onitsuka Lab.'

Akihito Hashidzume, Professor

The Precision Polymer Science Lab researches the creation of precision polymers with well-defined chemical structures, aiming to understand the essential nature of polymers (their polymeric nature). Large molecules with a molecular weight of roughly 10,000 or more are called polymers, and the nucleic acids and proteins that make up our bodies are also polymers. To find answers to questions such as why life chose polymers as its essential materials, the lab conducts research using precision polymers. The lab also aims to use polymeric nature to create high-performance polymers comparable to biopolymers.

Takaya Terashima, Professor

The Polymer Synthetic Chemistry Lab aims to create polymer materials with new properties and functions by hierarchically controlling everything from molecular structure to assembled structure. Combining precision polymerization and self-assembly, the lab makes amphiphilic nano-assemblies and nanostructured materials that dynamically recognize and organize themselves in response to their environment. At the level of functional groups and atomic groups, the lab works on precisely programming the structure, properties, and functions of polymers. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Terashima Lab.'

Yumi Matsumiya, Professor
