Makiya Nishikawa, Professor
1 student voices
The Nishikawa Lab aims to develop drug delivery systems (DDS) that precisely control the interaction between the “drugs” given to treat disease and the “body.” Because drugs act by interacting with molecules, cells, and organs in the body, the lab believes that maximizing only the useful action (drug efficacy) would lead to effective treatment. From the standpoints of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics, the lab is building new methods to control how drugs move in the body, along with systems to evaluate that movement quantitatively. The lab tests the effectiveness of the methods it creates in cells and in animal models of disease.
Akiko Nakada, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakada Lab studies medical ethics, research ethics, and medical education. Its research topics include developing a rehabilitation program for research integrity and verifying its usefulness. The lab also conducts research on the work of pharmacists. The department's lab introduction lists medical ethics, research ethics, and professionalism as fields of study.
Tsugumichi Sato, Professor
0 student voices
The Sato (Tsugumichi) Lab conducts research aimed at evaluating and minimizing the risks of drugs actually used in clinical practice. Choosing the best treatment requires evaluating a drug's benefits (expected effects) and risks (possible side effects). Using drugs more appropriately can reduce risks. The lab conducts research such as pharmacoepidemiology studies that use healthcare big data to examine the safety of drugs after they reach the market.
Akira Sato, Associate Professor

The Sato (Satoshi) Lab studies the processes that determine whether cells live or die, and the mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer. Founded in April 2018, it is a small lab that takes advantage of its agility in its research. The lab aims to understand how cancer cells die and how they become resistant to anticancer drugs, and to connect this to cancer treatment. It also investigates the modes and mechanisms of retinal cell death, with the goal of protecting retinal cells and controlling cell death.
Yasunari Mano, Professor
0 student voices
The Mano Lab is a clinical pharmaceutical sciences lab that picks out the various problems faced in clinical practice and aims to elucidate them. Alongside elucidation, it also aims to build new pharmaceutical evidence and feed it back to clinical practice. The lab develops optimal dosing design methods that take into account the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and side effects of drugs. It also conducts research on the appropriate use of drugs using large-scale healthcare databases (so-called healthcare big data).
Mitsutoshi Tsukimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Tsukimoto Lab studies how radiation affects living organisms, from a perspective unique to pharmaceutical sciences. To improve radiation therapy, the lab works to uncover the mechanisms by which cancer cells respond to radiation. The lab also conducts basic research toward developing radioprotectors that protect normal cells from radiation.
Kazumi Yoshizawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshizawa Lab studies palliative care, which eases the suffering of cancer patients, from a pharmaceutical sciences perspective. Palliative care is medical care that listens to the pain and distress cancer patients experience and relieves their symptoms. The lab focuses on the "suffering of mind and body," which is at the core of palliative care. In the researcher database, the lab is listed under the name "Disease Pharmacology Lab."
Kanami Mori-Mori-Yasumoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Mori-Yasumoto Lab conducts research in natural products chemistry, searching natural resources such as plants for compounds that could serve as the basis of treatments for tropical infectious diseases. Plants have been deeply involved in human clothing, food, and shelter since ancient times, and have also served as a source of medicines. Unknown chemical substances produced by plants may include some that can be used as drugs, and the lab particularly searches for compounds effective against hard-to-treat tropical infectious diseases. The lab also works to elucidate the active compounds and functions of medicinal plants that have traditionally been used in medicine in tropical regions and elsewhere.
Gaku Ichihara, Professor
0 student voices
The Ichihara Lab studies the mechanisms by which environmental chemicals and nanoparticles cause nervous system disorders and cancer. It is becoming clear that environmental factors activate immune cells involved in inflammation, such as macrophages and microglia, and that this leads to disease. Using neural stem cells, genetically modified animals, and techniques for analyzing gene expression and the proteome, the lab investigates cell-cell interactions and the molecular basis of pre-disease states (mibyo). The lab aims to establish biomarkers that predict disease and to use them to help prevent illness.
Satoru Miyazaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Miyazaki Lab studies how to extract new knowledge that serves as a foundation for drug discovery from large-scale biological data, including gene data on genomes. The lab aims to extract this knowledge using databases and virtual experiments based on computer simulations. The lab is working to create drug discovery informatics, a new field of computer science that works in concert with experimental biology and experimental chemistry. Its fields of specialization are bioinformatics, information science, and databases, and its listed research areas are drug discovery informatics, gene structure, and molecular evolution.
