Research
We make method of Human biomonitoring (HBM), which is a technique to evaluate chemical exposure level by measuring the levels of chemicals or related substances such as their metabolites or adducts in biological samples (e.g., urine or blood). If the analytical sensitivities, completeness and cost-effectiveness of the method are improved further, HBM might be widely applicable to not only research fields such as epidemiological and occupational study but also routine analysis for effective prevention of the exposure of the human body to chemical substances.
Education
In undergraduate education, we educate students regarding the Medical Technology, especially clinical chemistry and uroscopy. Master cource students in my lab., they will study cutting-edge separation analysis and develop new determination method of some biomarkers such as insecticide and the other environmental chemicals.
