Research Field

There are three main areas of research that we are doing in our 'Institute of Human-Environment Interface Biology (IHEIB)'. First, we are investigating how various environmental stimuli from external environment cause skin aging, and we are studying prevention and treatment of skin aging. Second, we are identifying the various components of the skin such as collagen fibers, elastic fibers, proteoglycans, and glycosaminglycans in aging skin, to clarify what causes them, and to identify underlying molecular mechanisms. Based on the results, we are developing methods to prevent and treat skin aging process. Third, recent studies have revealed that the effects of skin aging on the function of other organs in the human body.
