Subject of research
1.	Research for biosynthesis of secondary metabolites derived from medicinal plants

Research summary
Elucidation of the biosynthetic mechanism of secondary metabolites derived from plants My research aim involves the study of secondary metabolites derived from medicinal plants. I will isolate and determine the structure of characteristic secondary metabolites, elucidate their biosynthetic mechanisms, and conduct studies in synthetic biology.

Present specialized field
Bioorganic chemistry, Pharmaceutical chemistry and drug development sciences, Chemistry and chemical methodology of biomolecules, Chemical biology

Message
1.	Attractive world of natural products Many natural products are used in our daily lives, and pharmaceuticals, herbal medicines, supplements, and others occupy important positions among them. The plants we are targeting, especially those known as medicinal plants, have been used as herbal medicines for a long time, and we aim to elucidate the biosynthetic mechanism of their active ingredients. Additionally, I plan to expand into the development of physiologically active substances and drug discovery research through synthetic biology."
