Hiroshi Tsutsumi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tsutsumi Lab conducts research in the chemistry of life using peptide engineering. Centered on peptides, the lab designs and builds supramolecular systems composed of biopolymers such as glycans and proteins. From these systems, it develops research to create biomolecules with new functions. The lab's research keywords are chemical biology, peptide drug discovery, and bioimaging.
Atsushi Kawakami, Associate Professor

The Kawakami Lab studies how damaged tissues and organs are restored to their original state. In multicellular organisms, many cells are replaced every day, yet tissues and organs are kept constant. This function is called tissue homeostasis. Among vertebrates, fish have an exceptionally high regenerative capacity, and can restore fins and parts of the heart to their original state even after losing them. Using zebrafish, which have a high regenerative capacity, the lab is working to elucidate the molecular and cellular processes through which tissue regeneration occurs.
Masayuki Komada, Professor
0 student voices
The Komada-Fukushima Lab studies the intracellular signaling of growth factors, which control the activities of animal cells. Ubiquitin, a small protein, is involved in the transmission of these signals in many different ways. When ubiquitin attaches to a partner protein as a tag, the amount and properties of that protein change, and the signal is regulated. Abnormalities in the signals or in the molecular machinery that receives them cause disease, so the lab is also pursuing research that leads to the development of treatments.
Kazushi Kinbara, Professor
0 student voices
The Kinbara Lab focuses on the structures and functions of biomolecules and develops new substances with functions never seen before. Living organisms are made up of complex functional biomolecules, which show the ultimate form that organic chemistry can reach. Using synthetic organic chemistry as its main tool, the lab creates molecules that transport substances through cell membranes, molecules that make the inside of cells glow so that it can be seen, and more. Since fiscal 2024, the lab has also taken part in the Research Center for Autonomous Systems Materialogy, Institute of Integrated Research.
Hiroshi Iwasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Iwasaki Lab studies how homologous recombination, a reaction carried out by cells, works. Homologous recombination not only gives genomes diversity but also plays important roles in DNA repair and in keeping the genome stable. It is also the central mechanism that restarts replication when replication stops because of DNA damage or other causes. The lab uses a wide range of methods, such as molecular genetics, biochemistry, and structural biology, depending on the level at which the target molecules are analyzed.
Toshiaki Kamachi, Professor
0 student voices
The Kamachi Lab conducts research centered on bioinorganic chemistry. Metal ions are involved in many important biological reactions, including respiration, metabolism, nitrogen fixation, photosynthesis, and neurotransmission. Bioinorganic chemistry combines biology and inorganic chemistry to study the metal ions that are essential to these life processes. The lab works on two areas: elucidating the functions of metalloenzymes for practical applications, and elucidating how oxygen behaves inside cells.
Masaki Kajikawa, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Kajikawa Lab studies transposable elements found in the genomes of living organisms. Organisms' genomes contain millions of copies of transposable elements. The lab aims to clarify the mechanisms by which transposable elements amplify. It also investigates what transposable elements mean for genome function and evolution, with retrotransposons and epigenetics as its research keywords.
Takehiko Itoh, Professor
0 student voices
The Itoh Lab conducts bioinformatics research, decoding large-scale genome sequence data through computational analysis. Its targets are massive amounts of genome and RNA sequence data, typified by data from next-generation sequencers. By applying a variety of computational analysis techniques, the lab takes on the challenge of elucidating biological phenomena. It also develops new computational methods for determining genome sequences accurately.
Fumi Kano, Professor
0 student voices
The Kano Lab aims to establish "cell editing engineering," a field that designs and edits cells. The lab pursues interdisciplinary research that combines cell engineering experiments with bioinformatics and mathematical analysis. As its foundation, the lab has developed two technologies: resealed cell technology and covariation network analysis. The lab aims to put its results to use in society, not only in basic life science but also as technologies that support drug discovery and cell-based medicines.
Shintaro Fukuda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Fukuda Lab studies how to systematize the performance that building users require, element by element, and express it numerically. It investigates what performance is needed, and how much, for building elements such as floors, walls, roofs, and ceilings. The results serve as indicators for selecting materials and construction methods that meet users' requirements, and as a framework for setting construction conditions. The lab puts particular emphasis on evaluating floor slipperiness, floor hardness, and vibration transmitted to buildings.
