OUR RESEARCH
Our research group focuses on the design, synthesis, and development of small molecular chemical probes for biological and medical research. These include fluorescent probes for visualizing various events occurring in living cells and animals. We are also collaborating with medical surgeons to establish an intraoperative diagnostic technique by using our fluorescent probes for rapid and sensitive detection of tumor site. Moreover, we are also interested in developing new therapeutics based on synergistic use of functional small molecules, proteins, cells, and extracellular vesicles.
・Development of novel fluorescent probes, sensitizers, anti-cancer drugs, caged compounds, and Raman probes.
・Biological applications and imaging of functional probes developed and their use in cancer treatment.
・Development of next-generation medical technologies by combining functional proteins, cells, and extracellular vesicles.
