Future Plan
The goal of our laboratory is to translate basic science and genome research into clinical practice. For this purpose, we try to identify biomarkers that are useful for the prediction of disease risk, drug response, and clicinal decision.
Messages to Students
In general, new Ph.D students will start a project related to the p53 pathway and learn basic experimental skills. Our laboratory also manages a large disease cohort called Biobank Japan that contains more than 200,000 DNA and serum samples of 51 common diseases, and student will have the oppotunity to work on big projects related to this.
