Overview

Our department aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which social, physical, and environmental stressors cause disorders of the nervous system, blood vessels, and skeletal muscles, as well as the molecular principles underlying related diseases. We also seek to conduct research that contributes to the development of effective treatments for these conditions. Our research employs a wide range of approaches, including animal models, molecular and histological techniques, electrophysiological methods, fluorescence imaging, behavioral analysis, and comprehensive gene expression analysis. At the same time, we place strong emphasis on education, with the goal of fostering medical researchers who can contribute to the advancement of medical science, as well as physicians and healthcare professionals who can engage sincerely and compassionately with patients.
