Department of Immunology and Pathology

Research Topic

We investigate molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of immune-related diseases such as autoimmune diseases, allergies, chronic dermatitis, and chronic inflammatory diseases, by focusing on the several gene-manipulated animals related to lymphocyte functions..

• Involvement of novel alarmin in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. 
• Function of ARNT and small Mafs in the differentiation of regulatory B cells.
• Effect of Themis on the pathogenesis of chlonic skin inflammation.
• Effects of Themis and IL-33 on the pathogenesis of allergic skin inflammation.
• Function of environmental factor AhR and Nqo1 on various immune responses.
