ABOUT US
Welcome to Kawashima laboratory
The immune system provides defense of the body and maintains biological homeostasis by the recognition and removal of foreign substances such as pathogenic bacteria by immune cells. In the Laoratory of Microbiology and Immunology, through research focusing on the function of glycans in the immune system, we are trying to elucidate the mechanism of the immune system at the molecular level and analyze mechanisms of allergies, inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases and cancer caused by the inappropriate function of immune system.
We are focusing on immunology, microbiology, and glycobiology.
Immunology
We are studying the molecular mechanism of lymphocyte dynamics that is the basis of immunity.
Microbiology
We are working on elucidating the molecular mechanism of bacterial infection and infected host responses.
Glycobiology
We are trying to elucidate the unknown function of glycans using glycosyltransferase-deficient mice and anti-glycan monoclonal antibodies.
