Indroduction
Pharmacology is a branch of the basic medical science concerned with the
study of the interaction between medicine and body.
More specifically, it is the study of biological and/or physiological effects
of the medicine on body,
organ, tissue, cell, gene, or molecule during the process of pathogenesis
in diseases.
Results of research done in the laboratory provide the knowledge to the
establishment of
pharmacologic treatment as well as apply the drug discovery.
Our lab has focused on inflammation which causes several diseases including
bowel disease,
cardiovascular disease, and thrombosis. We are trying to reveal molecular
mechanisms and
pathophysiology of these diseases for the development of novel pharmacologic
treatment.
Our lab has conducted the following research projects.
1. Analysis of how oral microbiome affects systemic disorders
2. Elucidation of leaky gut syndrome and the discovery of therapeutic targets
3. Role of the cell-cell interaction in the function of endothelial cell
4. Mechanobiology of vascular endothelium
We are participating in the education of medical personnel who will sustain
local health care. Everyone is always welcome to visit and/or join our
lab.
