Division of Genome Biology

Research Activities

Somatic mutations in the cancer genome and inter-individual variations in the human genome are critical keys to improving the cancer clinic. The aim of our division is to find "seeds" that improve the treatment and prevention of cancer by identifying and elucidating the biological significance of somatic mutations in cancer genomes and genetic polymorphisms of cancer patients. We are working together with NCC staff from hospitals to fight lung, ovarian and breast cancers.
