膜生物学ユニット 細胞膜の損傷と修復は単細胞生物からヒトまで保存された機構であり、ヒトではデュシエンヌ型筋ジストロフィー症を含む様々な疾患に関与することが少しずつ分かり始めています。しかしまだその全貌を俯瞰するには至っていません。膜生物学ユニットでは、細胞生物学、分子生物学、生化学、遺伝学、バイオインフォマティクスなどのアプローチを用いて、細胞膜の修復機構とその意義を研究しています。将来は細胞膜と老化との関わりを明らかにすることを目指しています。 Members Event 今後のイベント ユニットのニュース コンタクト 教員 河野 恵子 シェア: ユニットのポスト 7/1/2024, Dr. Enaam Alghamdi joined Kono lab A new postdoc, Enaam, joined our team.
