Research Activities

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The primary project of the Biology Division is to elucidate the molecular basis of multistage human lung carcinogenesis to develop novel preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic methods for the disease. Whole genome scanning of tumor suppressor genes as well as cancer susceptibility genes is under way to achieve this goal. Once genes of interest are identified, functional analyses are performed to elucidate the pathogenic involvement of the genes in lung carcinogenesis. Mechanisms of chromosome deletion causing inactivation of tumor suppressor genes are also being investigated in the division.
