Kiminori Shimizu, Professor
0 student voices
The Shimizu Lab believes that controlling microbial functions benefits human life, and it conducts research using methods from genetics and molecular biology. A wide variety of microorganisms live on Earth, and they are deeply involved in our lives in many ways. The number of unknown microbial species is said to be in the millions, estimated at more than tens of times the number of species humans have identified. By discovering such unknown microorganisms, the lab aims to develop microbial functions from multiple angles.
Eri Segi, Professor
0 student voices
The Segi Lab aims to elucidate, from the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism perspectives, the processes by which neurological and psychiatric disorders, centered on depression, arise and by which treatment takes effect. In antidepressant treatment models, the lab aims to clarify changes in hippocampal function and their contribution. In stress models, it aims to clarify changes in hippocampal circuits and function and their contribution to behavior. In developmental disorder models, the lab aims to evaluate behavior and elucidate changes in brain function. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Segi Lab (Regulation of Biological Functions)."
Koji Tamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Tamura Lab studies the mystery of how life began on Earth from the perspective of RNA and the genetic code. The genetic code is the system that converts the base sequence of RNA into the amino acid sequence of proteins, and it is shared by all organisms on Earth today. The lab investigates how this code came into being by studying reactions such as the binding of amino acids to tRNA.
Mitsunori Shiroishi, Professor
0 student voices
Shiroishi Lab studies the function of proteins such as drug-target receptors and antibodies, revealing it at the molecular and atomic level. The lab gives equal importance to protein engineering, which creates new proteins, and protein science, which seeks to understand how proteins function. Using a variety of methods from molecular biology and biophysics, the lab aims to create useful protein molecules that can contribute to human health. The lab's website also describes it as the "Protein Engineering Lab."
Chiharu Nishiyama, Professor
0 student voices
Nishiyama Lab studies how gene activity is regulated in cells involved in immunity. Its main subjects are mast cells, which cause allergic reactions, and dendritic cells, which pass information about foreign substances to T cells. The lab also investigates how components derived from fragrances, foods, and gut bacteria affect immune responses.
Tatsuya Nishino, Professor
0 student voices
Nishino Lab uses structural biology methods to analyze, at the atomic level, how chromosomes, the carriers of genetic information, are accurately passed on to the next generation. Drawing on its knowledge of structural biology, the lab also works on designing proteins with new functions. Examples of its research include structural and functional analysis of the chromosomal passenger complex, which is involved in controlling cell division, and of the kinetochore, the machinery that segregates chromosomes. The lab also lists as research examples structural and functional analysis of the RNA silencing mechanism involved in plant antiviral defense, and the development of novel plastic-degrading enzymes.
Shu Kondo, Professor
0 student voices
Kondo Lab's research fields are neurophysiology, neuroscience in general, and systems genomics. The lab's research areas are listed as visualizing and manipulating neural circuits and comprehensive knockout of Drosophila genes. Its research keywords are genome biology, Drosophila genetics, synthetic biology, developmental biology, and neuroscience.
Fuminori Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
Takahashi Lab studies, at the level of genes, how plants respond to environmental stresses such as drought and high temperature. In particular, it focuses on long-distance signaling, in which environmental information is shared and integrated between distant organs such as roots and leaves, and it searches for and analyzes the regulatory factors and signaling factors that control this process. Building on these results, the lab is also developing stress-tolerant crops that can grow in harsh environments and help address food and environmental problems.
Makoto Itami, Professor
0 student voices
Itami Lab mainly conducts research on digital communication systems. Its three main research themes are OFDM, spread spectrum communication systems, and ITS. The lab also conducts research on communication systems and signal processing.
Shinichi Satake, Professor
0 student voices
The Satake Lab champions "computer simulation engineering" and conducts research in thermal engineering. The professor's research field is computational thermofluid dynamics within thermal engineering. The lab has master's students and fourth-year undergraduate students.
