Professor Hideto Kojima
About the Department of Biocommunication Development

Aiming to cure diseases completely rather than just treating symptoms.

Using Professor Kojima’s uniquely developed technology, we focus on drug redevelopment and new drug development for difficult chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, multi-organ failure, and conditions resistant to conventional surgical and pharmacological treatments. We also aim to develop medical materials for tissue regeneration.

Research Content

Developing methods to completely cure diabetes and its complications

Applying cell targeting technology (Biozipcode)

Developing clinical trial plans using cell-targeting peptides (Biozipcode) for new therapies in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies, creating treatment protocols for patients, and conducting actual clinical trials.

*Cell-targeting peptides are being developed under the leadership of Professor Hideto Kojima at the Department of Life Information Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, and this research is their clinical application.

  • Developing affordable and safe drug therapies through drug repositioning based on new findings

  • Exploring new drug delivery methods using Biozipcode

  • Developing regenerative treatments using tissue regeneration scaffolds with Biozipcode

Laboratory

About the Lab

Applying the unique technology developed by Professor Kojima, efforts include the redevelopment of existing drugs, development of new drugs, and etc.

Message from Professors

Research is conducted daily to understand why diseases do not heal, find answers, and develop cures rather than treatments.

Members

Introducing the research course and related members. Detailed information on each member’s expertise, research content, and achievements is provided.

Joint Research

This is research conducted by Kyoto University faculty as a business under commission from Biozipcode Inc. The expenses required for the research are borne by the commissioner.
