Research Interests
Our goal is to clarify the pathogenesis of diseases that are difficult to diagnose and treat, such as autoimmune diseases, cancer, and infectious diseases, at the molecular level, and to apply to medical treatment by integrating it with the new technology of Institute of Post-LED Photonics.
【Research theme】
1. Identification of autoimmune disease-specific molecules and development of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods based on single-cell transcriptome analysis
2. Elucidation of the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and development of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods
3. Elucidation of the pathogenesis of intractable diseases by Raman spectroscopy and development of new diagnostic methods.
