Genome Research

Update : 2023-05-10

Overview

Our laboratory has started research activities since January 2005, aiming to study the effectiveness of molecular cancer therapeutics at the genome level. Our goals are to identify new molecular targets for tumor-selective therapy and to develop diagnosis methods for predicting drug responsiveness in cancer patients. For the attainment of the purpose, we promote two projects, using genome technologies: 1) basic research for microenvironment-oriented, molecular-targeted therapy and 2) translational research for diagnosis of drug responsiveness in molecular-targeted therapy.

Projects

  1. Basic research for microenvironment-oriented, molecular-targeted therapy
  2. Translational research for diagnosis of drug responsiveness in molecular-targeted therapy
