Welcome to our web site!

The best part of structural biology research is being able to see the beautiful 3D structures of proteins that no one has ever seen before. Why not enjoy research and achieve exciting results? Many students are active in our laboratory and are working hard on their research. Come join us and let’s do research that will make the world go “Wow!” We are looking for master’s and doctoral students and undergraduate students who can actively pursue research. If you are interested in our laboratory, please contact us.

In our laboratory, we are researching how the epigenome (DNA methylation and histone modification), which determines the shape and function of cells, is formed and maintained based on the 3D structure of molecular complexes. Epigenome abnormalities can cause cancer and aging, so we are conducting applied research to search for and develop drugs based on 3D structure information.

If you are intersted in our research, please contact our laboratory.

Keywords

• Structural biology (X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray solution scattering, high-speed AFM)
• Epigenetics (chromatin, DNA methylation, histone modification, ubiquitination)
• Reconstitution of complex biomolecular complexes including proteins and DNA
