(Fujita Health University Research Promotion Headquarters)
Former Aichi Medical University Research Creation C & Cell Biology
He is focusing on nerve regeneration. He is working on controlling the regenerative environment during regeneration in central nervous system and spinal cord injuries, as well as drug discovery and treatment development. In particular, he aims to apply genetic modification of glycan structures, which play an important role in neural development and regeneration, gene suppression technology, and nucleic acid medicines for therapeutic applications. While interested in neural development, he is also fascinated by the dramatic changes in cellular function and structure that occur during regeneration. His current research has led him to begin analyzing inflammation control and pain control.
Specialties: Molecular and cell biology, developmental biology, neuroscience, glycobiology, and drug discovery technology development.
Born in Nara Prefecture, he studied cell adhesion structures in the laboratory of Professor Tsukida Shoichiro (formerly of the Second Department of Medical Chemistry, Kyoto University) during graduate school.
He has worked at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology, Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Nagoya University, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Niigata University School of Medicine, and Aichi Medical University, before moving on to his current position (Fujita Health University). He loves microscopes, is extremely fussy about adjustments, and is strangely dexterous at detailed work, so he can be quite a nuisance when conducting experiments with him...
He is eager to try out new technologies, the latest machines and systems (he loves new things). His love for new things has led him to transfer to Fujita Health University even though he is nearing retirement age (what is he thinking, say his faculty members). He still wants to do research, so he is determined to give it his all and move to a new place. It is not natural to want to go to a place with momentum and potential (he says defiantly).

Former Aichi Medical University Research Creation Support Center
She specializes in psychiatric neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience. She is one of Japan's leading researchers, known only to those in the know for her mouse behavioral learning experiments. After graduating from the Department of Physics in the Faculty of Science, she went on to graduate school at Osaka University's Graduate School of Engineering (Faculty of Engineering), earning a PhD in Engineering (Takeuchi simply admires her for being so cool). She is an extremely humble woman, but her logical way of thinking and intelligence overflow when she speaks. Is Takeuchi forcing it on her? She carries out various tasks "perfectly" while also continuing her research. Whenever anyone around her is in trouble, they immediately consult Hattori. Her drive and ability solve everything. In fact, when it comes to Hattori, everyone around her, including Takeuchi, becomes a subject of observation and research (Takeuchi is just like Professor Hattori's analytical mice...)
Hometown: Mie Prefecture Is Mie in the Kansai region or the Tokai region? Takeuchi is very picky.

Former Cell Biology, Aichi Medical University
His research aims to elucidate the mechanisms of rapid recovery from spinal cord injury and neural function recovery from two perspectives: neural circuit remodeling using the artificial synapse connection factor CPTX and the development of regenerative fields through manipulation of extracellular matrix molecules. Drawing on his experience at Osaka University and Nagoya University in mouse and newt eye development, and research on neurogenesis, sensory reception, and lifespan control using the nematode C. elegans, he hopes to uncover the universality of life by cherishing the observation of biological phenomena unfolding before his eyes (according to him). Originally from Saitama Prefecture, he studied embryology in the Kondo Hisato Laboratory at Osaka University during graduate school, and pursued genetics of the nematode C. elegans under Professor Mori Ikue at Nagoya University. While battling unreasonable demands from his professors, he ignores them and adheres to a research style that does not compromise on experimental data (he's stubborn, but he's also reliable (Takeuchi's review)). Go Saitama!
He is in charge of histochemistry, animal care and management, keeping track of the vast number of animals, and is also responsible for the care and treatment of the rats.
He is the finance minister of the department, and nothing can be purchased without his permission. Born in Tokyo. Graduated from Chiba University (Pathology) where he studied histochemistry and electron microscopy (immunoelectron microscopy).

Yuki Morioka
Research Technician
She is a superwoman who handles everything from genetic analysis to protein and glycan analysis, cell culture, and overall management.
He takes the lead and responds to all of the professor's unreasonable requests in advance, and quickly completes all experimental requests from other clinical departments. Without him, the department wouldn't function... He is the key person for general research in the lab. Born in Niigata Prefecture, he has experience working at a major corporate research institute, so he is also good at management and operation (overall review). Niigata is great - the food is incomparable to Nagoya...
Midori-chan
Laboratory mascot
This super mouse survived Professor Sasakura's various harsh research projects, including drug administration experiments and invasive experiments, thanks to its "extraordinary vitality and incredible luck." He occasionally participates in AI machine learning and motor function analysis. He was a deified mascot character relied upon by the lab members. Due to his vitality, good luck, and high crisis avoidance ability, he was considered the "guardian deity of the lab" and was cherished by the professors in the lab as well! He passed away on July 24, 2021 (aged 2 and a half). He has been inducted into the Mouse Hall of Fame. Even as a skeleton, he is protecting the lab!
I'll come to Fujita Health University too!!
Even now, people still pray for good luck by placing their hands together in front of the skeleton.
