Professor Hiroshi FUNAKOSHI

Department of Advanced Medical Science has been newly established department in Asahikawa Medical University, JAPAN, since May 17, 2018. H.F., who had been the  founder Director and Professor of Center for Advanced Research and Education (CARE), Asahikawa Medical University since 2011,  has become a founder Professor of the Department. The department focuses on basic research to novel therapeutic interventions. Our research interests are as follows;

(1) To develop Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) as a novel  therapeutic agent
for various incurable diseases, such as amyotrophic sclerosis (ALS), spinal cord injury, polyglutamine diseases, and so on.

(2) To elucidate the roles of tyryptophan metabolisms on physiological emotional behaviors as well as pathophysiological conditions including familiar emotional disease. We are utilizing Genome Editing approach to develop novel knock-in mice and rats for the purpose.
 
(3) To develop a new therapeutic intervention based on the differential potentials of regeneration between mammalians and non-mammalian species. This is a challenging project but we are going to consume a lot of effort on it.

​    We are seeking graduate and doctoral students as well as post-doc with enthusiastic passions. If you are interested in our research scope, please contact us.
