Purpose of Research

To address intractable diseases such as cancer, it is essential to implement strategic medicine—a comprehensive approach that involves accurate assessment of disease states, selection of the most effective therapeutic strategies, and application of cutting-edge technologies. At our group, we are developing nano-therapeutic systems that regulate and repair cellular functions at the genetic level using polymer chemistry-based molecular technologies as well as MRI nanoprobes for high-sensitivity in vivo imaging and quantum nanoprobes for in vivo biological signal detection. We are seeking motivated research scientists to contribute to the development of next-generation diagnostic and therapeutic nanoplatforms through expertise in interdisciplinary fields, including chemistry, materials science, biology, pharmaceutical sciences, and medicine. Join us in pioneering the future of medicine—where we aim to “visualize what was previously invisible and treat what was previously untreatable.”

Subjects of Reseach

Polymer Nanoruler as MRI Probes to measure interstitial spaces within tissue
Polymer–Nucleic Acid Complexes for Next-Generation Cancer Immunotherapy
Turning Cold Tumors Hot: Gene Therapy via Polymer-Based Viral Structures
Stealth Nanodiamonds: Advanced Polymer Coating Strategies

Summary

With cutting-edge nano-theranostic systems based on quantum and polymer technique, visualize what was previously invisible and treat diseases that were previously considered untreatable.
