| Comments |
We focus on understanding how cell fate—life or death—is determined, how cells respond when faced with death, and what impact they have on their surroundings. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes, we aim to uncover the mechanisms of biological homeostasis, deepen our understanding of various inflammatory diseases and cancer pathologies, and develop new therapeutic strategies. In undergraduate education, I am responsible for teaching biochemistry. Emphasis is placed on acquiring biochemical concepts that enable students to think about biological and pathological processes at the molecular level, fostering deep insights and critical awareness regarding diseases and current therapeutic approaches. In graduate education, my goal is to nurture independent researchers who can thrive on the global stage. |
