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.
