RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research Laboratory for Prediction of Cell Systems Dynamics
Team Leader: Katsuyuki Shiroguchi (Ph.D.)
Research Summary
I had been working on single molecule observation of molecular motors by optical microscopy, and have jumped into genomics research field. Based on these experiences, we are making a new platform which enables to combine imaging and sequencing. Using this system, we would like to understand biological systems, and to contribute to medical sciences. 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, e.g., immune cells, and/or diseases.
