Research summary
「To understand, visualize, and cure glycans」
Our laboratory conducts biological studies on glycans (sugar chains).
Virtually all cells in our bodies are covered with a lot of lot of glycans, but their roles remain largely unclear.
We try to
・understand how glycans are synthesized in cells and what roles they play.
・visualize where glycans exist in cells and organs.
・cure glycan-related diseases by modulating glycan functions.
These three are our key concepts. Please check research page in more detail.
Our laboratory belongs to both iGCORE (Institute for Glyco-core Research) in Gifu University and Course of Molecular Life Science in Faculty of Applied Biological Sciences. We are partially supported by JST FOREST program. We closely cooperate with Cell biophysics lab (Kenichi Suzuki lab) , Hiromune Ando Lab in iGCORE.
