Medical Chemistry & Molecular Genetics
to understand life and diseases
About us
Full Devotion to Science, Friendly Atmosphere, and Continuous Excitement
Although the discovery of DNA has significantly advanced our understanding of life, we still do not fully understand even a single "cell," the basic unit of multicellular organisms. What is life? It is very mysterious. "Full Devotion to Science, Friendly Atmosphere, and Continuous Excitement" – This policy comes from my mentor. We inherit this legacy and aim to understand cells and, beyond that, to understand life and disease using biochemistry and molecular genetics.
