Mission

Unlock the mysteries of infections and diseases through molecular and cellular understanding

Research Overview

In the Laboratory of Infection Control and Prevention, we are conducting researches with the aim of elucidating the mechanisms of diseases and infections, which are still largely mysterious, at the genetic, protein, and cellular levels. "Infection control and prevention" is a broad field of research, but our laboratory focuses on intracellular structures and phenomena called "organelles" and "membrane trafficking." These are deeply related to many diseases, including infectious diseases (e.g. pneumonia) caused by Legionella, coronaviruses, and influenza viruses, as well as cancer. Through these studies, we aim to elucidate the unknown mechanisms underlying life phenomena and contribute to the development of life sciences and medicine.

We accept requests for laboratory tours at any time. 

Would you like to chat with faculty members, graduate students, and fourth-year undergraduate students in the lab?
