Join the Lab Team
as a Postgraduate Foreign Research Student, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo.

Our lab is going to accept a foreign research student.
If persons are interested in exploring a mechanism of cardiovascular diseases and finding new therapeutic targets, they might fit in our lab.
We are seeking highly motivated students. Laboratory staff review their CVs and contact the candidates. This program starts in September or April.
The postgraduate foreign research students also have the opportunity to apply to students at the graduate school of medicine, the University of Tokyo.

Eligibility Criteria for a postgraduate foreign research student:  
Persons who have been awarded an academic degree that is equivalent to a bachelor’s or master’s degree from a university in a foreign country.

Timetable for the Application 2024
31 March: Deadline for accepting the application by email
by 14 April: Interview by virtual meeting
15 April: Student selection results will be sent by email
Sep. 2023: Study start

研究内容

1. 心臓マクロファージの生理的役割と疾患発症への関与
2. 心臓線維芽細胞の生理的作用と疾患発症への関与
3. 心臓と他臓器との臓器連関とその破綻による心疾患発症機序
4. 個体の老化の発症機序の解明
5. メカニカル刺激と転写調節メカニズムの解析
6. 摂食の調節機構の解析
7. メタボリックシンドロームと心血管疾患発症メカニズムの解析
8. 新規細胞診断・治療機器の開発

これらの課題に対して、細胞レベル、臓器レベル、個体レベルでゲノム、エピゲノム、転写調節、タンパク発現の網羅的解析および遺伝子への介入による解析を行い、新しい概念・新しい治療標的の創出を目指し、患者検体を用いた検討まで行っている。また、機械学習・新規機器の開発による新しいテクノロジーを用いた新しい解析法がなし得る新規事象の創出も目指しています。
