Research content

This laboratory is promoting a research by the protein level, the transgenic animal level and the human body level about the aging of blood and brain.
The blood research group is studying the mechanism producing age-related functional disorder of microcirculation system and the prophylaxis for it. And this group is also studying the molecular mechanism of erythroblast differentiation.
The brain research group is studying the specialization mechanism of a nerve cell and the developmental mechanism of brain.
