Research Concept
Our research objective is to comprehensively analyze intricate signaling networks within the various cell types of the oral & maxillofacial region. To achieve this, we have developed and applied innovative single-cell-based approaches tailored to a wide range of biological scenarios, with a particular focus on host-microbe interactions. The novel insights garnered from our research serve as a critical foundation for the advancement of therapeutic strategies targeting a diverse diseases in medicine and dentistry.
The primary methodologies employed in the CSN lab are as follows:
Optical approaches: These enable the real-time monitoring of dynamic changes in cell signaling activities through the use of ultra-fast and highly sensitive fluorescent biosensors.
NGS-based multiomics approaches: These methods uncover complex alterations in the genome, transcriptome, and proteome, collectively referred to as the 'regulome.' Additionally, they facilitate the integration of data across different levels, shedding light on the 'interactome' involving various cell types, including the oral microbiome.
