I'm researching "oxidative carcinogenesis". While iron is the most abundant heavy metal in the body and is essential for survival, excess iron is known to cause oxidative stress which induce DNA damages via Fenton reaction, leading to carcinogenesis. Using the model of renal cell carcinoma induced by Fe-NTA injection, which has long been analyzed in our laboratory, we are conducting research to discover new methods of cancer treatment and prevention by elucidating the molecular mechanisms of oxidative carcinogenesis. Our laboratory is department of pathology and I'm also training as a pathologist. Pathologists are professionals in morphology who make diagnoses through observation of tissues and cells, and I hope to apply these skills to my research. I'm researching by taking hints from the observation of tissues. In the CIBoG program, I would like to apply information technology to my own research as a basic researcher, learn the relationship between information technology and medicine, and promote collaboration with researchers having various backgrounds.
