Our research aims to discover the etiology and pathology of a variety of diseases as well as the structure and function present in organisms based on the structural and functional analysis essential for clinical examination. Our goal is to promote analysis of biological and medical information from a molecular or cellular level to the organism level using state-of-the-art techniques based on new and important research topics in the fields of biology and medicine from the viewpoint of a wide range of disciplines including morphology, pathology, physiology, cell biology, and molecular biology. These findings will be used in the development of new biological and molecular tests that will expand our understanding of various biological phenomena and help in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Currently, we are conducting research on the following topics:

1. (1)Molecular morphological and pathological studies of the proliferation, differentiation, cell death, and carcinogenesis of cells
2. (2)Physiological studies on the senses of taste and touch and on breathing and circulation
3. (3)Neuroscience studies on the pathophysiology and medical treatment of various autonomic nervous diseases
4. (4)Clinical pathological and biochemical studies on proteopathies
