Overview of Research

Using knowledge of chemistry and biology, we create novel peptides and proteins that are useful in biological research and in drug development. Furthermore, by combining these biomolecules, we are currently developing new bioanalytical methods such as ultrasensitive next-generation peptide sequencing technology and a protein quantification method with single-molecule resolution. We aim to contribute to progress in science and society by developing new technologies that make previously invisible molecules visible and previously un-makeable molecules makable.

Research Subjects

  • In vitro evolution of functional peptides and proteins
  • Quantification of proteins with single molecule resolution
  • Development of next-generation peptide sequencing technology
  • Engineering of a cell-free translation system for drug development
