Purpose of Research
We aim to design biomolecules with enhanced functions through the power of chemistry, thereby enabling the understanding and control of previously uncharacterized biological phenomena at the molecular level. Our research centers on two main themes: disease metabolic imaging and the design of functional medium-sized molecules. We are taking on the challenge of developing game-changing biomolecules that can be applied to molecular diagnostics and next-generation biopharmaceuticals. By integrating organic chemistry, molecular biology, medical science, automation, and data science, we are pioneering new frontiers in research.
