Our laboratory specializes in nano-biomaterials for cell-specific therapy, diagnosis and drug discovery, which includes new concepts of DDS and gene delivery systems, bio-imaging probes, and high throughput assay systems. We have developed new cell-specific drug and gene delivery systems responding to intracellular protein kinase or protease, imaging probes for protein kinase for detecting cancer activity, various high throughput assay systems of protein kinases by using peptide array, and gold nano-particle or fluorescence molecules. In our studies, we aim to create new concepts for the post-genomic era, and to apply the research results to life sciences, medicine, welfare and education.
