Message from Professor
In our laboratory, we pursue research from multiple and interdisciplinary perspectives under the motto of "translational research", aiming to bridge basic science, clinical practice, and public health interventions in order to address global infectious disease challenges. We conduct research primarily in overseas field settings, often under resource-limited conditions, working in close collaboration not only with experts in medicine and public health, but also with researchers in nursing, veterinary medicine, engineering and agricultural sciences.
We are also strongly committed to the training of the next generation of researchers and practitioners. Through hands-on learning experiences in laboratories and research field sites, we strive to provide an environment in which trainees can develop both a strong research mindset and practical skills.
We welcome individuals from diverse academic and professional backgrounds who have a strong interest in research on infectious diseases, molecular biology, microbiology and epidemiology.
