Research

　Human body sites are colonized by over 100 trillion cells of microbes which form the microbiome having profound influences on host physiological states. Our research focus is elucidation of the overall structure of microbiome and its physiological functions via interactions with host cells. For this, we are also developing culture-independent approaches such as metagenomics, bioinformatics and statistics based on next-generation sequencing (NGS).
