Profile I am conducting research using a combination of cell engineering and electrophysiology, and I am mainly investigating the effects on cells and living organisms in medical applications. Specifically, we are conducting complex research on themes such as hepatocyte regeneration technology that can be used for living-donor liver transplantation, research on tissue construction using a three-dimensional culture method, and research on acupuncture.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) Cell engineering

    In recent years, research on regenerative medicine has been widely conducted, and stem cells such as iPS cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) and ES cells (embryonic stem cells) are often used. However, on the other hand, this method has many problems such as safety and cost, difficulty and complexity of the manufacturing process. Therefore, I am conducting research aimed at simple and short-time in vitro culture by combining "ECM (extracellular matrix)" and "autologous cells".

  2. (2) Artificial organ

    In recent years, organ transplantation in the medical field has made remarkable progress. On the other hand, the number of organ donations is far short of the number of patients eligible for transplantation, and treatment is not sufficient. Therefore, I researched "establishment of a three-dimensional culture system for cells in vitro" and "an attempt to construct a tissue for transplantation using co-stimulation of electricity and drugs" with the aim of solving the problem of organ transplantation.
