Bioactive Molecules

Introduction

We would like to extend the healthy lifespan of human by utilizing chemical biology techniques. For this final goal, we are currently studying bioactive molecules to induce degradation of the disease related proteins, chemical biology to understand the molecular mechanisms of bioactive molecules, improvement in physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetics of bioactive molecules, and so on.
With the several methods including organic chemistry, molecular and cellular biology, medicinal chemistry and computer chemistry, every student will design the bioactive molecules, synthesize them, and evaluate their biological activities.
