Saito Laboratory: Disease model cells of diabetes. / Regenerative cell engineering. ES cells. / Single-cell gene engineering. / Femtoinjection. / Food safety control and regulatory science. Kuroda Laboratory: Structural and functional analysis of proteins at atomic/molecular level using recombinant DNA technologies, NMR, X-ray crystallography, and computational simulation. Biophysical studies of protein aggregation. Nakazawa Laboratory: Structural analysis of silk fibroins using solid state NMR techniques. / Development of the medical implantation devices such as artificial cardiac valves and cardiovascular patches based on the silk fibroin. Miyaura and Inada Laboratory: Investigations of refractory diseases for clinical drug development are employed for lifestyle-related diseases such as Cancer, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Periodonititis. Functional analysis of molecular biochemistry using mammalian cell to individuals are promoted research. Moreover, the molecular pathological investigation using gene targeted mice and disease models on mice. Ohta Laboratory: Development of novel techniques for organelle imaging and their application to mitochondrial study. Cell death, Ca2+ signaling and generation of reactive oxygen species are mainly focused. Ikebukuro Laboratory: Nucleic acid engineering of aptamers for the application to diagnosis and novel bottom-up nanotechnology. Kawano Laboratory: The goal of our research is to establish a system that uses biological nanopores for single-molecule detection. Channel membrane proteins have nanochannels around 1 nm in size. These biological nanopores are capable of detecting and electrically recognize even single molecules with a high signal-to-noise ratio. However, the channel size is limited by the inherent protein structure. I plan to develop artificial nanochannels such as synthetic nanopores or polypeptides combined with biomaterials (proteins and lipid bilayers) on the basis of MEMS technology for novel nanopore sensing. Sode and Tsugawa Laboratory: Biomolecular engineering for the development of 1) novel enzymes for the diagnostic application,and 2) novel proteins for the application in the synthetic biology. Development of novel biodevices for the creation of theranostic platforms and environmental monitoring systems. Ozeki and Yamada Laboratory: Molecular biological and biochemical studies on the enzymes involved in plant secondary metabolisms. / Molecular biological analysis of the genes based on the functin of the proteins related to salt-tolerance phenotype of the halophyte. Nakamura Laboratory: Bioelectrochemistry and Raman spectroscopy of metalloproteins and construction of biofuel cells. Tanaka, Arakaki and Yoshino Laboratory: - Production of biofuels, chemicals and pharmaceuticals on the basis of biological functions of various microorganisms. /Development of Bio-sensing system based on lab-on-a-chip technologies. / Molecular analysis of biomineralization mechanism. Biomimetic synthesis of organic/inorganic hybrid nanomaterials using biological molecules. / Development of novel bio-nanomaterials through genetic engineering by microorganisms for biosensing and biomedical applications. Ohno Laboratory: Development of ionic liquids as ion conductors, solvents for biomass extraction and energy conversion. Nagasawa Laboratory: Total synthesis of biologically active natural products.
