Analyzes the physiological functions of individual aging (changes with age) through comprehensive search for new cell aging-related genes to develop model animals with diseases related to those genes. |

Clarifies the long-term survival mechanisms of sensory nerve cells at the molecular level using fruit flies and mice, both responsive to genetic approaches, as experimental models, and identifies the causes of presbycusis to develop treatment. |

Clarifies the mechanisms of the decrease of immune functions with age with a focus on lymphocytes specifically recognizing certain microbes, and explains the mechanisms of aging in the immune system to develop measures to maintain immune functions. |
