Research Overview
We are interested in development of chemical tools that can be used to understand complex cellular processes. To do this, we are working on:
-
Construction and applications of carbohydrate microarrays for rapid analysis of glycan-mediated recognition events
-
Preparation of homogeneous glycoproteins
-
Development of fluorescent probes that can be used to detect biologically important ions, species and enzymes in cells
-
Development of drug delivery systems that target cancer cells selectively
-
Incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins in mammalian cells for elucidating cellular events
-
Development of biofunctional molecules that regulate biological processes
To achieve this goal, my research group consists of organic and biological researchers who collaborate with each other closely to promote a successful outcome.
