Research Project

  • Differentiation of Human iPS Cells into Hepatocytes and Small Intestinal Epithelial Cells
  • Establishment of Gisease Specific iPS Cells from Inherited Metabolic Disease Patients
  • Mechanism of Diabetes Vascular Endothelium Dysfunction
  • Development of Continuing Education Program for Pharmacists
  1. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are capable of differentiating into three embryonic germ layers and germ cells. The cells apparently differentiate into various types of mature cells, and are thereby an attractive source for routine access to large numbers of cells that can be used for the development of candidate drug-screening strategies replacing primary cells. We investigated the differentiation methods of human iPS cells into hepatocytes and small intestinal epitherial cells useful for pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic examinations such as induction of drug metabolism enzymes and interactions of candidate drugs with drugs or biological macromolecules.

  2. This center supports 6-year pharmacy education program and the continuing education of pharmacists who work in medical scenes. We also study education of clinical pharmacy by means of simulation of medication.
