Recent Activities

The rapid development of genome science since the mid-1990s has enabled the decoding of whole genome sequences and accelerated the understanding of biological phenomena, whereas there remain many phenomena that are difficult to explain using genome science alone. Consequently, metabolomics and lipidomics, which captures the final phenotype of genomic information, has been attracting attention as a post-genomic science. 
We are working on the development of next-generation technologies for metabolomics and lipidomics, aiming at disease prevention and very early detection through the highly accurate and sensitive detection of important metabolic changes and the discovery of unknown molecules and new metabolic pathways.
 

Message to Students

The development of metabolomics and lipidomics technologies that can comprehensively capture in vivo metabolism is essential to focus on disease prevention in the super-aging society.
We are seeking students who will work together to construct next-generation measurement and information processing technologies that will accelerate personalized healthcare through stable, large-scale accumulation and integration of molecular-level information in vivo for improving QOL and extending healthy life spans.
