About our laboratory

Our research group was established at the Immunology Frontier Research Center, Osaka University in 2020.

In recent years, it has become increasingly appreciated that immune cells engage in crosstalk with the metabolic, nervous, developmental systems, and so on. As a result, immunology-related research fields are expanding rapidly. We investigate the functions of immune cells from multiple perspectives, focsing on "homeostasis". Our aim is to understand the normal functioning of organs and tissues, as well as to elucidate the pathological conditions that arise from disruption in this balance.

The Osaka University Immunology Frontier Research Center (IFReC) provides a top-level research environment. I am pleased to be able to take on challenges in such an excellent research environment, and we aim to conduct research that will contribute to the advancement of academic research.
