We are a newly established laboratory at the Center for Infectious Disease Education and Research (CiDER), at the University of Osaka. 

Our research applies cryo-FIB and cryo-ET approaches to visualize and disect Host - Pathogen interactions at high resolution. In particular, we seek to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlaying protein translocation medicated by bacterial nanomachines.

Keywords: cryo-EM, cryo-electron tomography, cryo-focused ion beam, host–pathogen interactions

Exciting news!
A high-performance workstation has been built and installed in our research unit, with cryo-EM software packages.

Our team can now process both cryo-EM and cryo-ET data in-house, enabling a wide range of structutal biology studies!

We determined in situ structures of Campylobacter jejuni flagellar motor using cryo-ET. We published a manuscript, and our structures were selected for the cover of Nature Microbiology
