About the department

Department of Aging Neurobiology

We will clarify the molecular mechanism of dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of delivering medicine and relief to patients.

Research Focus

  1. Molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of amyloid-β and tau, leading to neurodegeneration.
  2. Mechanisms how non-genetic risk factors, such as diabetes and aging, and genetic risk factors, such as APOE genotype, promote dementia.
  3. The relationship between these genetic and non-genetic risk factors.
  4. Research with the goal of delivering relief to patients (e.g., our original exercise method & Cog-map)
  5. Development of the next-generation therapeutics.
