Division of Clinical Safety

1.Molecular mechanisms of growth, adrenal function and sex differentiation　2.Patient safety

1.We elucidate molecular mechanisms of growth, adrenal function, and sex differentiation by monogenic and polygenic disorders/traits as well as animal models. Final goal of these studies is to establish novel therapeutic approach. 2.We introduce patient safety concepts to all medical stuff and patients.

The areas of interest include cancer, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, cognitive disorders, suicide prevention, stress care of health professionals, and patient safety.

English

Early Modern English Literature

The literary and physiological aspects of two apparently conflicting phenomena in early modern English literature: the significance attached to the soothing effects of laughter, and the cult of melancholy.

English

Medical English education, Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT)

My research focuses on Medical English education, with a particular focus on the application of CLIL and task-based methodologies in collaborative teaching involving clinicians and language teachers. I am also engaged in analysis of English questions in the Japanese National Medical Licensing Exam.

German

Austria Literature between the World Wars,Modern Austrian Literature,German as a foreign language

Text-immanent interpretation of Austrian literature in the interwar period as well as an examination of the characteristics of Austrian literature through the method concerning the sociology of literature. Interpretation and synchronic and diachronic study of Modern Austrian literature in the postwar era. Study of German vocabulary required for each level.

Mathematics

Probability Theory

Research on asymptotic behavior of stochastic processes in random environments.

Physics

Optical Measurements of Soft Matter

Thermal agitation of the interior and surface of matter. Through these measurements, we can gain knowledge not only concerning thermal fluctuation, but moisture and elasticity can also be measured without physical contact. Pursuing clinical applications through performing measurements of various materials.

Biology

Immnology, Microbioligy

The goal is to establish phage therapy specific for pathogenic bacteria.In addition to the isolation of natural phage, we are also looking into the creation of phage that are effective against phage-resistant bacteria.We are working to establish new treatment strategies for antimicrobial-resistant (AMR).

Biology

Comparative Zoology, Tardigrade Biology

Research concerning the natural history surrounding tardigrades, such as life history traits of terrestrial tardigrades which possess high resistance to desiccation, taxonomy of marine tardigrades, micromorphology of gametogenesis, etc.

Chemistry

Radiology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Natural Products

I am responsible for radiation health and safety at Keio University`s Shinanomachi Campus. Our research is primarily interested in developing ways to safely concentrate and dispose of radioisotopes. In addition, we are interested in developing biosensors using isotopic marking and aptamer technology for age related disease diagnostics and food monitoring. Another aspect of our research focuses on the identification of useful functional components from nature and ways to develop these for synthetic applications.

Chemistry

Arithmetic Geometry

We investigate the properties of algebraic varieties over number-theoretic fields. We study the correlation between the Galois representation defined by etale cohomology and geometric properties. We study also the properties of representations of various groups obtained from etale cohomology.

Chemistry

Chemical Education・Structural Chemistry・Drug Delivery System

(1)We are developing PBL-style experimental themes and teaching materials to nurture logical thinking skills and also developing effective educational materials. (2) We are studying the factors that promote the permeation of insulin through the intestinal wall, with the aim of developing oral insulin.
