Professor, DirectorMembrane proteins play important roles in intercellular communication and are crucial targets for drug discovery. It is known that over 60% of commercially available drugs act on membrane proteins. In 2022, Chiba University established a research center dedicated to membrane protein research, where we focus on the production of membrane proteins, the development of structure-function analysis techniques, and the development of new drugs.

Associate ProfessorAging causes changes in the function of various tissues. In particular, age-related decline in brain function leads to dementia and a reduced quality of life in older adults. Using small model organisms such as fruit flies and zebrafish, which allow easy access to aged individuals, I aim to elucidate the mechanisms behind the age-related declines in brain function.
