Kana Yamamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab develops synthetic methods with a small environmental burden and uses them to synthesize bioactive compounds. The lab tackles a range of challenges in precision organic synthesis, such as building methodologies that make synthesis more efficient and developing synthetic routes. Its goals are synthetic methods that change how syntheses are designed, and environmentally friendly catalysts that, like enzymes, have high selectivity and reactivity. The lab also synthesizes bioactive compounds using the catalysts it has developed, and synthesizes analogs with a view to applications in drug discovery.
Takanori Shibata, Professor

The Shibata Lab develops new chemical reactions using organometallic complexes, which are made of a metal and organic compounds. With the help of metals, especially transition metals, it is possible to create reagents and catalysts with reactivity and selectivity that cannot be reached without a metal. By swapping the ligands attached to the metal, the reactivity of these reagents and catalysts can also be finely controlled. The lab aims to develop new carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions that serve as a foundation of organic synthesis, especially asymmetric reactions that generate new chirality.
Takaki Koide, Professor

The Koide Lab studies collagen, a protein in the body, using chemical methods. Focusing on the triple helix that is characteristic of collagen, the lab investigates at the molecular and cellular levels how it is made, how it takes shape, and how it functions. The lab also aims to offer new chemistry-based methods and tools for targets that are hard to study with biological methods alone. Its distinguishing feature is research driven by free and flexible thinking that removes the barriers between chemistry and biology, and between basic and applied research.
Yoichi Nakao, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakao Lab studies biological phenomena using natural compounds produced by marine organisms. Marine invertebrates such as sponges, sea squirts, and bryozoans have yielded many compounds with strong biological activity and unique, diverse structures. The lab searches for compounds that induce ES cells and iPS cells to differentiate into cardiac muscle and blood vessels. It also finds compounds that suppress drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria and pathogenic protozoa, with the aim of leading to drug development.
