Overview of Research
1. Immune cells recognize pathogen’s DNA and RNA, and induce immune responses. We develop nucleic acid nanomedicines that are complexes of synthesized nucleic acids with nanoparticles for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and allergy.
2. We found bone-restricted Ifitm5 that is a novel gene for bone formation. Recently, it is reported that mutation of this gene causes osteogenesis imperfecta type V. We develop nucleic acid nanomedicines that target this gene for the treatment of this bone disease.
