Mahito Sadaie, Professor
0 student voices
The Sadaie Lab (Cancer Cell Biology) conducts basic biological research to find the weaknesses of cancer cells and lead to the development of methods to suppress cancer. The lab pursues two main lines of research: one targeting the mechanisms that maintain telomeres at the ends of chromosomes, and one using methods that drive cells into cellular senescence. The lab also takes an approach that drives target cells not only to death but into senescence.
Tomoko Masaike, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies how the unit structures at each level, from a single enzyme molecule up to tissues, carry out their functions. The lab records video with modified microscopes and combines it with biochemical measurements to examine the causal relationships among structural change, reaction, and function. The lab aims to apply this work to elucidating respiratory diseases and developing highly sensitive biodevices.
Kazuyuki Kuchitsu, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies, at the molecular level, how plants recognize the outside world, and how they process and transmit information. The lab believes that understanding how plants live is the key to solving problems of the global environment, food, and energy. The lab uses molecular genetics based on genomic information, molecular physiology that examines the functions of living organisms without destroying them, and bioimaging technology that visualizes the movement of signaling molecules.
Takayuki Arazoe, Lecturer
0 student voices
The lab centers its research on developing new tools and technologies for genome editing in microbes. In microbes, genome editing has not yet had as much impact as it has in animals and plants. The lab aims to elucidate at the molecular level the arms races between plants and pathogens, between insects and pathogens, and between viruses and microbes. In addition, the lab aims to draw out the capabilities of microbes through genome editing technology and to contribute to the microbial bio-industry in food, agriculture, the environment, and medicine.
Akari Hagiwara, Associate Professor

The Hagiwara Lab analyzes the morphology and physiological functions of neural networks, centered on synapses, to understand the many functions of the brain. Synapses are the adhesive junctions connecting neurons, and are considered the basic units that support brain function. Through this research, the lab aims to contribute to elucidating the causes of neuropsychiatric disorders and developing treatments for them. The lab's research rests on three pillars: morphological analysis, development of novel optogenetic tools and their application to behavioral experiments, and observation by electron microscopy.
Yasuo Nihei, Professor
0 student voices
The Nihei Lab (called the Hydraulics Lab on its website) studies fluid motion in natural water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, and the environmental phenomena linked to it. Its goals are to clarify actual conditions, establish prediction methods, and improve and restore the environmental problems occurring there. The lab takes its own measurements through field observation and remote sensing, and runs numerical simulations on computers to reproduce and predict phenomena in the field. The lab places importance on students going to the field as much as possible to experience environmental phenomena firsthand, and sometimes building their own environmental measuring instruments for monitoring.
Makoto Nakayoshi, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakayoshi Lab investigates the relationships among urban form, the atmospheric environment, and human health, with the aim of creating safe and comfortable urban spaces. There are concerns that as urbanization advances, environmental problems such as air pollution, urban heat islands, and heavy rainfall will worsen. The lab uses observation, experiments, and numerical simulation, and sometimes builds its own measuring instruments, to capture the essence of the phenomena. Its research fields are urban hydrometeorology and thermal physiology.
Masayuki Saeki, Professor
0 student voices
The Saeki Lab (Structural Engineering Lab) researches sensing systems that detect abnormalities in civil infrastructure structures such as road accessories and power transmission towers. It measures the acceleration response of a structure and analyzes the data appropriately to determine whether an abnormality exists. The lab is also developing technologies that use sound and images to assess the condition of structures. It also works on research that deploys and applies the fundamental technologies developed in the lab to real sites, in cooperation with companies.
Yoshitaka Kato, Professor
0 student voices
The Kato Lab researches the mechanisms by which concrete structures deteriorate and what is needed to maintain them. It investigates how segregation of materials in concrete before it hardens affects its quality after hardening. The lab uses electrochemistry to study the corrosion of reinforcing steel inside concrete, and is considering the development of corrosion protection technologies. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Concrete Engineering Lab."
Shintaro Terabe, Professor
0 student voices
The Terabe Lab studies the analysis of users' behavior and attitudes in order to plan transportation such as roads and railways. Public participation, in which citizens' opinions are gathered widely and reflected in plans, is also one of its research subjects. The lab considers appropriate survey methods, such as observation and experiments, simulations, and questionnaires, and studies how to analyze the data obtained. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name Planning Lab (Keikaku Kenkyushitsu).
