Kotaro Kirimura
1 student voices
The Kirimura Lab conducts research in applied biological chemistry that uses enzymes and microorganisms as catalysts. It works on developing reactions with new enzymes and searching for microorganisms that live in harsh environments. It aims for highly safe "biomanufacturing" that is free of undue burden and waste.
Seijiro Hosokawa, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Hosokawa Lab studies the total synthesis of bioactive compounds and the development of new reactions. The lab works to establish synthetic routes with few steps so that target compounds can be made quickly. It is also developing new reactions that construct complex target structures all at once in a single reaction.
Takeo Suga
1 student voices
The Suga Lab studies how to create new functions and structures in polymer materials. Using precision polymerization, the lab builds targeted functions into the interfaces between polymer phases. The lab also develops techniques, such as photopolymerization, that produce complex structures by simple methods.
Shinji Takeoka, Professor
1 student voices
The Takeoka Lab studies structures formed by the assembly of lipids, biomedical polymers, proteins, nucleic acids, and other molecules, and applies them to medicine. The lab makes nanosheets, which are free-standing films only nanometers thick, and liposomes, which are lipid vesicles, and examines their properties. Applications are expanding to drug carriers, devices attached to the body to measure biological signals, and particles that act as substitutes for platelets. The lab also develops new fluorescent probes for observing phenomena inside cells.
Masahito Hosokawa, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Hosokawa Lab studies how to find useful substances from the microorganisms around us. It combines single-cell analysis, which examines cells individually, with microfluidic technology. The lab is developing a technological foundation for reading the genetic information of microorganisms whose genomes were previously unknown. It also uses synthetic biology methods to create new substances from the genetic resources that microorganisms carry.
Eri Amasawa, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Amasawa Lab studies, based on life cycle thinking, how society can live well with fewer resources. Current patterns of consumption and production are not sustainable, and they are causing global environmental crises and socioeconomic inequality between people. The lab works on both the design of social systems and their quantitative evaluation. It aims to support decision-making toward a sustainable future.
Masakazu Kobayashi, Professor
1 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies compound semiconductors as a lab in electronic and photonic materials science. The lab investigates how materials change when electricity or light is applied, and how those changes can be put to use. The lab fabricates crystals such as semiconductors and creates fine structures and quantum structures in them, aiming to control the behavior of electrons and photons. Research centers on experiments rather than theory, and is applied to new solar cell materials and semiconductor devices.
Jiro Nishinaga, Professor
1 student voices
The Nishinaga Lab aims to create, with its own hands, semiconductor devices that do not yet exist in the world. Using compound semiconductors, the lab studies properties such as light emission and high-frequency operation that cannot be achieved with the silicon semiconductors used in smartphones and other devices. The lab synthesizes compound semiconductors in-house, evaluates their crystalline, electrical, and optical properties, and creates new semiconductor devices. The lab aims to propose, and put into practical use in society, sensors, light sources, and energy devices that can be used in diverse environments, including in the life sciences.
Michiaki Hamada, Professor
1 student voices
The Hamada Lab studies bioinformatics technologies that are useful for life science and medical research. Using methods such as information science, statistics, and machine learning, the lab analyzes biological big data such as genomes and proteins. These technologies are expected to be useful for next-generation drug discovery and medicine.
Yasuhiro Hayashi, Professor
1 student voices
The Hayashi Lab studies power management technologies suited to a society where renewable energy and electric vehicles are becoming widespread. The lab develops systems for using energy efficiently at scales ranging from individual homes to communities and the entire power grid. Through these technologies, the lab aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and help realize a carbon-neutral society.
