I had been working on single molecule observation of molecular motors by optical microscopy, and have jumped into the genomics research field. Based on these experiences, we are making a new platform enabled by the combination of imaging, sequencing, and machine learning, and also developing the three-dimension spatial analysis. Using these systems, we are studying stem cells, organoids, and immune-related cells, etc. We have developed other techniques as well, for example, molecular barcoding which provides digital RNA sequencing (dRNA-seq), and a novel bacterial microbiota analysis based on single-base identification and single-cell level quantification. We often collaborate with biologists and/or medical scientists in order to study immune-related cells and diseases. We would like to understand biological systems, and to contribute to medical sciences.
