Elucidate the essence of life phenomena through research!
Do you know how the body utilizes the various nutrients we consume in our daily diet? The metabolic mechanisms of many nutrients, such as vitamin K, are still unclear. In my laboratory, we aim to analyze the in vivo metabolic mechanisms of various nutrients and their effects on related diseases using biochemical and molecular biological techniques. Our research will lead to the promotion of healthy life span through diet by treating and preventing age-related diseases such as osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease.

FOR SOCIETY
We use experimental techniques in biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmacology using cells and animals to develop functional foods and drugs that can contribute to the treatment and prevention of age-related diseases. We aim to implement our research into society with the goal of extending healthy life expectancy. Our laboratory alumni are active in the life science field in pharmaceutical and food companies.
