Research Interest

This unit focuses on cellular assays to evaluate various toxicities of chemicals such as carcinogenic promotion, developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and skin irritation and sensitivity. Furthermore, by combining these assays with AI-based image analysis technology, we study methodologies to advance these assays to international testing methods.
