About Inoue Lab
Advancing cutting-edge chemical and life science research
Research Areas
G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs)
We study the functions of GPCRs and their downstream molecules, which are major drug targets, at both cellular and organismal levels.
Drug Discovery
We promote research aimed at identifying new drug targets and creating better therapeutic drugs.
Signal Transduction
We specialize in detecting GPCR activation and downstream signals using cultured cells.
Research Methods
Genetic Approaches
We approach research challenges comprehensively using genetic methods such as genome editing in model animals and cultured cells.
Biochemistry & Pharmacology
We conduct comprehensive research combining biochemical, pharmacological, structural biological, and cell biological methods.
Cell Biology
We advance functional elucidation at the molecular level through detailed analysis using cultured cells.
Laboratory Features
From Kyoto, we disseminate research results to the world and nurture researchers who can work globally. Our laboratory provides an environment where each student can engage in research independently, aiming to cultivate researchers with an international perspective.
The experimental space is equipped with various instruments and can handle everything from basic experiments to advanced analysis. Additionally, the animal laboratory conducts pharmacological experiments using mice and rats, where you can perform a series of operations from "dissection to section creation to tissue staining to observation."
