Haruko Takeyama (Waseda University, Professor)
(1) Since the most microorganisms in the environment are unculturable, a new analysis on genomic information is required. In our laboratory, we have developed single-cell genome analysis using microfluidic system. Furthermore, we have adopted Raman spectroscopy, which enables label-free detection of molecular substances at single-cell level, to perform the screening of beneficial microbiomes. To elucidate the functions of environmental microbiomes we have integrated the data obtained from our cutting-edge technologies. Moreover, we have developed the platform technology for microtissue omics. These new technologies have applied to various fields such as medicine and environmental science.

Toshio Ohshima (Waseda University, Professor)
(1) Our research goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms of neuronal　differentiation, brain wiring and functional development of our brain. For this　purpose, we analyze the functions of the genes which are involved in the brain development using mice and zebrafish as model animals. We use the results from these studies to develop the novel therapeutic approaches of neuronal regeneration. These studies will help us to contribute for the development of the novel therapeutic methods in regenerative medicine in the nervous system.

Yu Tahara (Waseda University, Associate Professor)
(1) Circadian clock in mammals regulates many physiological functions to maintain homeostasis. Disrupted circadian clock by e.g. night-time shift work, jet lag, clock gene mutation reads to many diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, suggesting an importance of the clock system. By using rodent models, we are now focusing on the neurodegenerative disorder, chronic kidney disease, and aging-related decline with the change of circadian clock function. Since our body clock can be enhanced and adjusted by light, food, and exercise, we are trying to reveal how our daily hygiene affects the our body clock and health, and investigate a possibility to prevent diseases by contouring our clock.
