Introduction of Research

Cells are large and complex systems consisting of many different molecules and the interactions between them. In order to understand these living systems, new technologies have been invented from various perspectives. Our research group is working on the computational reconstruction of cells. Based on multidisciplinary data and knowledge, this virtual cell allows us to predict cellular behavior and design new cells on the computer. By developing novel technologies in whole-cell modeling, single-molecule simulation, and bioimaging simulation, we aim to understand ‘living’ systems from both informational and physical aspects.

We build virtual cells integrating multidisciplinary data and knowledge on the computer.
