About the position
We study the virulence mechanisms of enteric bacterial pathogens, including Vibrio species and pathogenic Escherichia coli. By integrating a wide range of approaches—from epidemiology to molecular biology—we aim to (i) uncover the factors driving pandemic, (ii) establish novel models for analyzing virulence mechanisms, (iii) identify virulence factors and characterize their functions, and (iv) clarify the regulatory mechanisms that control their gene expression.
Specifically, we are actively investigating the mechanisms underlying infection establishment and disease development using animal models; elucidating pathogen–host interactions at the molecular level using human intestinal organoids and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq); and understanding phage–pathogen–natural environment interactions. We are also actively developing novel infection models and analytical technologies based on these research platforms.
Building on these findings, we also strive to translate our knowledge into innovative therapeutics and vaccines that do not rely on conventional antibiotics, as well as strategies for infection control.
We are now seeking a Specially Appointed Researcher (Full-time) who will actively contribute to these research.
