The Department of Organ Anatomy focuses on the structural and developmental basis of human organs, while advancing research aimed at elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie physiological and pathological states. Our primary interest lies in the role of lipid metabolism in regulating the homeostasis of the immune and nervous systems, particularly in the context of energy metabolism, cell function, and differentiation.

 

Furthermore, we are elucidating how dysregulation of lipid metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, malignancies, and chronic inflammatory conditions. By integrating anatomical perspectives with contemporary life science approaches, we aim to both deepen basic biomedical research and foster the development of next-generation physician-scientists and biomedical researchers.
