Intestinal Environment and Pathology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
We research the involvement of the intestinal environment in IBD through the analysis of microbiome and membrane vesicles derived from intestinal bacteria, with the goal of developing new treatment methods. Furthermore, we are engaged in a collaborative research initiative with the Department of Bacteriology at Okayama University, the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Tokyo, and other external analysis institutions.

Elucidating the Pathology of Immune-related Adverse Events Enteritis
Immune checkpoint inhibitors, which have been widely used as chemotherapy, can cause enteritis (IrAE enteritis), which is very similar to IBD. Our research aims to analyses the state of immune responses in this enteritis, with the objective of elucidating the pathology of IrAE enteritis and ultimately that of IBD.
