Research Overview
We conduct basic research to elucidate the pathogenesis of diseases and to develop therapeutic drugs. In particular, we focus on "vasculogenic mimicry" and "glycosylation," which are biological phenomena closely related to malignant transformation of cancer, and analyze their mechanisms using chemical approaches.
