RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences Laboratory for International Alliance on Genomic Research

Team Leader: Taisei Mushiroda (Ph.D.)

Research Summary

Taisei  Mushiroda(Ph.D.)

The main aim of our laboratory is, through collaborations in Japan and internationally, to identify useful biomarkers which could be used to predict drug-induced adverse events, guide drug use and be used in disease prediction diagnosis. We actively recruit young scientists from overseas to work at RIKEN and carry out research in SNP-based approach, statistical analysis and biological analysis. Our long-term goal is to establish an international SNP research network that will make the Center for Integrative Medical Sciences a world leader in personalized medicine.
