Overview

Our laboratory is analyzing the mechanisms for the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis to reveal the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), represented by Crohn’s diseases and ulcerative colitis. In particular, our research focuses on the following three intestinal factors.

  1. Intestinal immunity: We characterize unique functions and regulatory mechanisms of innate myeloid cells residing in the intestinal lamina propria.
  2. Intestinal environmental factors: We analyze the effect of microbiota and dietary components on the host immunity.
  3. Intestinal epithelial cells: We analyze barrier functions of a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells, which separate intestinal immunity and intestinal environmental factors.
