Overview of field and research projects

Our research goal is to analyze the biological functions brought about through the interactions and coordinations among cells and organs by understanding molecule-biopolymer and biopolymer-biopolymer information transmission within the study of molecular and cellular biology. We are conducting research on the development of innovative and effective medical examination technologies applicable to a wide range of disciplines related to the biological information analysis of patients, whether they are sick or in good health, including immunology, hematology, biochemistry, clinical chemistry, genetic testing studies, pathogenic biology, and clinical test studies. We are also carrying out research on the prevention of disease by analyzing both the changes in biological functions brought about by shifts in the living and social environments in which organisms are placed and the computerization of disease information and environmental factors using molecular biological and epidemiological techniques in order to determine the relationships between these factors and the causes of diseases.
