Our boss likes watching sports such as baseball, Sumo and football. He is a kindness person who advises us about research, work and our life. He supports each of us with doing his best.
Research Content
Glycan consists of monosaccharide such as glucose, which is an important material for life phenomenon. For example, ABO blood type is determined by difference of monosaccharide of the glycan terminal. In addition, it relates to various disease. It is well known that glycan structure changes in cancer cell compared to normal cell. Our purpose is contribution by applying to the field of life science and medicine by revealing the function of glycan and expression mechanism.

A Day in the Lab
We work from 9:30 to 18:00 in laboratory. We research glycobiology by experiments of analyzing glycoprotein, glycolipid and gene. Our laboratory hold on seminar to report research progress and to introduce thesis related our research. In seminar and academic conference, we discuss our research with other people and get various knowledge. In addition, we enjoy a lot of events which are firework festival and get party. So our laboratory life is fulfilling.
