Living organisms consist of diverse cells and molecules whose functions sustain life. Advances in measurement technology now allow for detailed analysis of biological phenomena. However, not only the cells themselves but also their surrounding environment (the cellular environment) is expected to play essential roles in cellular dynamics.

This project aims to reveal the mechanisms underlying these cellular behaviors by directly analyzing the cellular environment. Developing novel multidimensional bioimaging techniques will enable the visualization and analysis of the molecules constituting the cellular environment and the interactions between cells. Uncovering the fundamental role of the cellular environment contributes to understanding of how living organisms-not just cells and tissues, but whole individuals-adapt to various external perturbations.
