Masayuki Inoe, Professor
0 student voices
The Inoe Lab (called the "Inoe-Suzuki Lab" on the lab's website) is a lab oriented toward chemistry education that researches and develops chemistry experiment materials for use in school classrooms. Centered on themes in organic chemistry, the lab develops experiment materials from a scientific perspective, including new reaction reagents and catalysts, and methods for separating and detecting trace products. The lab's goal is "safe, low-waste experiment materials in harmony with the global environment." Graduate students belong to the Department of Science Education in the Graduate School of Science, and after graduating, many choose careers involving science outreach, including becoming junior high and high school teachers.
Yoshitaka Tsuchido, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Kawai Lab has Lecturer Yoshitaka Tsuchido, whose research field is organic chemistry (supramolecular chemistry). Lecturer Yoshitaka Tsuchido's research topics are freely controlling the rotational motion of molecular gears with external stimuli, and the synthesis and properties of highly strained π-conjugated compounds with novel structures. Lecturer Tsuchido's listed research keywords are highly strained π-conjugated compounds and molecular machines.
Kaori Tsukakoshi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tsukakoshi Lab studies "DNA aptamers," short single-stranded DNA molecules that interact strongly with specific target molecules. The lab conducts basic research ranging from aptamer development to evaluation of their physical properties and structures, and applies it to elucidating the mechanisms behind the onset of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Its distinctive research style is a "two-pronged" (nitoryu) approach, engaging in both biochemical research on nucleic acids and proteins and medical research on dementia. The lab was established in April 2025.
Kazuya Otsubo, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Otsubo Lab studies solid-state physical chemistry, centered on metal complexes. Metal complexes, assembled from metal ions and ligands, are highly flexible and designable, which makes a wide variety of material designs possible. The lab aims to create novel compounds through new synthesis, reaction, and functionalization methods, and to uncover their physical properties with advanced measurement techniques such as synchrotron radiation. The lab is distinguished by its broad scope: it goes beyond metal complexes to cover molecular solids and inorganic compounds (inorganic/organic hybrids).
Makoto Tadokoro, Professor
0 student voices
The Tadokoro Lab studies "functional synthetic chemistry," which uses hydrogen bonds that link molecules together to build useful molecular assemblies. The lab controls self-assembly, the "force of spontaneous gathering" at work when crystals and similar structures form, to build molecules up. The lab also works on mimicking the proton and electron transfer functions of living organisms, synthesizing electrically conductive complexes, and studying the structures of water clusters that conduct electricity easily. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
Shinichi Saito, Professor
0 student voices
The Saito Lab mainly studies supramolecular chemistry and transition-metal catalysis. The lab has developed a new method for synthesizing interlocked compounds such as rotaxanes and catenanes by making use of the catalytic activity of metal complexes. The lab develops efficient addition reactions and ring-expansion reactions, many of which are highly atom-economical reactions that produce no unnecessary waste. With biological, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology fields in view, the lab develops new methodologies from the perspective of organic reaction chemistry.
Takaharu Mori, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Mori Lab uses molecular dynamics simulations on supercomputers to study the motion of biomolecules such as proteins. The lab aims to understand at the atomic level how molecules move and carry out their functions. It is also developing methods for analyzing experimental data that combine molecular dynamics simulation with deep learning. The lab is a theoretical one that does not conduct experiments involving chemicals, and every student is lent a laptop.
Masaya Enomoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Enomoto Lab builds molecular assemblies such as metal complexes by combining metal atoms and organic ligands, and studies their properties in chemistry focused on the physical properties of materials. Focusing on the behavior of electrons, which plays a key role in determining a material's properties, the lab aims to develop materials with new physical properties in which magnetism, conductivity, optical properties, and thermal properties are intricately intertwined. Based on inorganic chemistry, the lab also incorporates organic-chemistry ligand synthesis and physical-chemistry measurements, and conducts broad research. The lab's website states that lab visits are accepted at any time.
Kazuo Watanabe, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Watanabe Lab studies chemical reactions that occur on metal surfaces using methods from surface science and laser light science. The lab aims to observe and control chemical reactions from the nanoscale down to the single-molecule scale. It creates nanostructures on metal surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum and investigates the state and reactivity of atoms and molecules adsorbed on them. In selecting students for undergraduate thesis research placement, the lab gives priority to those who will go on to the Department of Chemistry in the Graduate School of Science, and lab visits are welcome by appointment.
Hiroharu Yui, Professor
0 student voices
The Yui Lab studies the solution chemistry of polymers and molecular assemblies, as well as the chemistry of surfaces and interfaces of solids in contact with aqueous solutions. The lab also develops new spectroscopic measurement techniques to advance this research. A distinctive feature is that the lab devises and develops research tools that can measure targets in their natural state, or in the aqueous environment where a material performs its function. Its strength is the ability to develop and apply original laser light-scattering spectroscopic microscopes tailored to the target being measured.
