Improving our understanding of cell biology to strengthen our international profile
Thanks to technological developments, the field of life science has recently experienced remarkable progress, with advances in our understanding of cellular structure, function and the underlying molecular mechanisms of the cell.
However, we still have some way to go before we are able to use this knowledge to effectively engineer and modify cellular function. To deepen our understanding of cellular mechanisms, it is important to engage with researchers around the world and integrate the latest knowledge and technologies into research.
To this end, the Cell Biology Research Hub group invites top scientists from abroad to facilitate international collaboration and enhance our cell biology research, ultimately strengthening the international profile of our research community.
HIGHLIGHT

International Collaboration Research Project on Sustainable Functional Protein Materials
Recently, the development of novel functional materials that can be sustainably produced and overcome various environmental, and aging problems has become essential. Such materials could be applied in high-technology fields, such as the space industry. We have organized an interdisciplinary collaboration group with the aim of achieving a basic understanding of functional protein materials and their potential applications.

International Collaborative Research Project on Next Generation Immunosensor
In this project, we aim to develop novel antibodies against biomarker proteins, low molecular weight hormones and environmental pollutants using a range of techniques, such as phage display technology. Using the antibodies identified, we will also develop new immunosensors that are simple, fast and highly sensitive. We anticipate that this research will lead to practical applications, including clinical diagnosis and environmental pollutant detection systems.
