About IMS
Our goal is to understand how diseases develop in our aging society, aiming to explore these diseases from new perspectives to identify novel approaches for treatment and prevention. To this end, four key research areas have been identified:
(1) integrated analysis of the human immune system, (2) research on pathological molecular mechanisms through organ linkage analysis, (3) research on non-coding genomic medicine, and (4) development of innovative therapeutic methods.
Laboratories focused on these objectives collaborate closely.
We employ multi-omics analyses across the genome, gene expression, proteins, lipids, cells, tissues, and individuals, utilizing computational methods, including statistics and AI technology.
Additionally, we have established a platform to enhance our understanding of results obtained from experimental animals and apply these findings to human immunology research. This platform also supports the elucidation of human pathology mechanisms through experimental systems, such as cell and animal models, and these infrastructures are being leveraged to advance next-generation research.
