SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My main interest is to discover the higher order structure of protein interactions in a cell. Because of the progress of massive data acquisition technologies, interpretation of the rapidly accumulating information becomes the very problem of biological sciences. A new theory describing the intermediate level between cell physiology and molecular interaction should be constructed. I would be enthusiastic to confront this challenge and to make a contribution to the human being's deeper and deeper understanding of life.
