Our team Laboratory of Photobiology has been established in April 2015 following the adoption of an independent young investigator research project (Type-J) titled
Currently, we operate three research units within the Research Park:

“Elucidation of the Effects of Light Input on Metabolism, the Circadian Clock, and Pathophysiology, and Its Clinical Applications” at the Keio University Center for Integrated Medical Research (CIMR) Research Park.- Elucidation of Multi-Sensing Mechanisms via Non-Visual Opsins and Development of Novel Light-Based Therapies (Type-G)
- Global Translational Research on Gene Therapy for Vision Restoration (Type-A)
- Elucidation of the Molecular Mechanisms of Myopia Progression and Development of Therapeutic Strategies Based on These Mechanisms (Type-B)
Our approach spans basic science, epidemiology, clinical studies, and AI-driven research, aiming to pursue the essence of natural science while bridging it with clinical applications through translational research. Through this multifaceted strategy, we strive to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic methods to address unmet medical needs in ophthalmology. -
Our lab is composed of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers with diverse backgrounds and nationalities. We highly value the creation of new ideas and innovations born from this diversity. Based on a deeper understanding of pathophysiology, we have successfully developed several innovative technologies. These achievements have been made possible through the support of patients, research grants from public and private institutions, and collaborative research with domestic and international research organizations and companies.
We also actively welcome enthusiastic young researchers who aspire to contribute to the future of biomedical science. If you are interested in graduate studies or collaborative research, please feel free to contact us.
We will continue to strive to conduct research that contributes to society, and we sincerely appreciate your continued support and interest.
