MESSAGE

Our laboratory is interested in discovering new therapeutic methods against advanced cancer based on host anti-cancer immunity.

Our interests focus in two main topics which include oncolytic virus and anti-cancer cell therapy.

We are using natural mutated herpes simplex virus, HF10 which has been studied in USA as well as in Japan. This oncolytic virus is well known for its effect on "continuous replication with infection of neighboring cells and killing cancer cells without any damage to normal cells". HF10 is drastically different from former virus vectors. Recent studies have shown that oncolytic virus affects host immune response against specific cancer antigens, therefore it inhibits systemic metastasis.

As for cell therapy, we are interested in genetically modified receptor T-cell lymphocytes, which target cancer specific antigens on cancer cell surface. Our laboratory is studying a new generation technology for genetically modified receptor T-cell lymphocyte using iPS. We are amassing basic research data and eager to make a bridge to clinical trials with the goal of making a substantial difference in each patient's prognosis.
