Research Overview
In this research field, we are engaged in "neurological disease research using reprogramming technology and data science". It is our dream to find a cure for irremediable neurological diseases with the power of science. We are innovating reprogramming-based research by its merger with the power of artificial intelligence and thereby challenging to reveal the mysterious reasons why neurodegeneration occurs, and to explore the question of what a human being is.
We are working on the following projects:
- Research on the pathogenesis and treatment of neurological diseases including ALS and Alzheimer's disease
- Neurodegeneration Research using machine learning
- Research on brain intelligence using primate stem cells
We start with the thought "I wish I could do this, know this, and try this". A "dream-driven approach" is the style of our laboratory.
