Research for Immume-responses against Pathogen Infections

Division of Molecular Immunology are investigating molecular machinery underlying immune-responses against pathogen infections, including viruses and fungi.

We focus on sensor molecules in innate immune system, and aim to understand regulation and dysregulation of immune responses.
