Thank you for visiting our website.
Our research interests are on:
- Regulatory mechanism of energy metabolism in vivo by hypoxia response
- Regulation of in vivo energy metabolism by sulfur metabolites
- Mechanisms of production/degradation of phospholipids/bioactive lipids and their functions in vivo
- Mechanism of cellular senescence induced by cellular metabolism
- Identification of cancer cell-specific metabolic systems and search for therapeutic targets
- Elucidation of molecular mechanisms of cellular pathophysiological events by proteome and metabolome (including lipidome) analysis using mass spectrometry
To all undergraduate and master's students, clinicians, dentists, pharmacists, clinical laboratory technicians, and veterinarians who are considering graduate school in the life sciences, we will support your enthusiasm to invest in your future.
If you're interested, just take a look at our web site.
Thank you.
