Laboratory introduction

 Ultraviolet rays in sunlight cause short- or long-term damage to the skin depending on the wavelength of UV light and how it is exposed, and induce diseases depending on the degree of damage and damage accumulation.
 Our laboratory aims to elucidate the mechanisms of the phenomena and responses (cellular responses) that occur in cells exposed to ultraviolet rays, and to develop research that will be useful for the mitigation and treatment of skin disorders and diseases caused by ultraviolet rays.
