ABOUT US

 Our laboratory researches stem cells such as pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells, ES cells) and adult stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells, epithelial stem cells). The aim is to elucidate the biological phenomena related to the differentiation and undifferentiation mechanisms of these stem cells and to develop new medical technologies for treating diseases based on the obtained basic knowledge. We promote basic research on stem cells and also practice "translational research" to develop basic knowledge into practicable medical technologies, we are actively engaged in research that connects basic research with practical application research. Basically, we consider a cell as one basic unit and try to elucidate the mechanisms of stem cell differentiation and organ development using techniques based on cell biology, regenerative medicine, molecular biology, and tissue engineering. We welcome students and researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, including medicine, engineering, pharmacy, agriculture, science, and veterinary medicine.
