Who we are

We are dedicated to researching kidney diseases. Our team has a great enthusiasm to find out how kidney diseases develop. Our team is willing to challenge new technology to keep ourselves updated. We are well experienced in handling animal kidney disease models. To achieve precision medicine, our team is working on translational research with our own large biobank for human kidney tissue. We believe multi-omics analyses such as genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, and proteomics help to understand the underlying mechanism of kidney diseases.
