Our vision is to elucidate the in vivo functions of biomaterials for human health. The mission is to i) controll the biodistribution of biomaterials, ii) control the functions (ON/OFF) of biomacromolecules, and iii) realize the spatiotemporal detection of biological information. Specifically, we are designing novel nanomedicines that can efficiently target the diseased sites for realizing the treatment of intractable diseases.

Subjects of Reseach

Development of nanomedicines for oligonucleotide and mRNA delivery
Development of nanomedicines that can target difficult-to-reach diseased tissues
Design of polymeric nanorulers for optimal tissue permeability in diseased tissues
Design and evaluation of novel biocompatible and functional polymeric materials alternative to PEG
Design and evaluation of organic/inorganic hybrid biomaterials
