Research theme
1. Development of a medical treatment for
adult diseases and immunological diseases
targeting at cellular stress
2. Development of a new molecular targeting
treatment for intractable cancer
3. Clarification of the molecular mechanismof cancer metastasis, and development of a
new medical treatment for cancer metastasis
4. Clarification of a new expression control
mechanism for drug-metabolizing enzyme,
and its application
5. Chemistry of enzyme and enzyme models
6. Development of a functional molecule
useful for clarification of biotic functions
7. Rational design, synthesis and activity
evaluation of drug lead compounds
8. Development of functional molecules
based on a new concept
1. A nanotargeting drug delivery system(DDS) for administration to brain cancer andvarious carcinomas
2. DDS for administration of fine particles tolungs
3. Nanocarrier as DDS (liposome, gold
colloid, etc.)
4. Formulation design for low-solubility,
low- absorbability medical substances

1. Study of physical properties of soft matter(colloid, high molecule, gel, etc.), andapplication of the soft matter to the medical
drug field
2. Study of rule structural formation ofcolloid series, and application of materials
3. Computation simulation of soft matterordering process
4. Synthesis of functional particles, such as
particles containing quantum dots, and its
application
