Our aim:
Microorganisms are too small for us to observe with the naked eye. So, we are usually not aware of their presence. But they are in fact all around us. For example, there are many microorganisms under the mulch in the forest, etc., and they also coexist in our bodies. In our laboratory, by discovering infinitely unknown functions of microbial genes and elucidating their basic principles, we aim to create new useful compounds and understand complex interactions between microorganisms.
