Research Promotion and Research Integrity

The animal experiment labs have animal holding areas and advanced facilities intended for large experimental animals to develop clinical research. We believe favorable rearing environments for animals contributes to experimental results with high reliability and reproducibility. We pay close attention to preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Research Project
Our research group aims to understand and develop therapies for various diseases by measuring and controlling energy metabolism.
ATP, which is produced in energy metabolism, forms the basis of homeostasis by regulating ion concentration, signal transduction, and transcription inside and outside the cell. We have succeeded in developing a technology to visualize ATP dynamics in live mice and rats in vivo for the first time in the world. Using this technology, we are promoting physiological, disease, and pharmacological research focusing on the cardiovascular system, skeletal muscle, and central nerves systems.
In the cardiovascular system, we are working on new measurements of cardiac diseases, energy efficiency and improvement by drugs, and prediction of cardiotoxicity, based on the analysis of ATP dynamics during the beating of the heart and cardiomyocyte. We are also working on the development of new physicochemical therapies based on the analysis of ATP dynamics during the progression of the kidney from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease.
