HIV/AIDS
In cooperation with the Kobe University Overseas Joint Research Center
established in Indonesia, we have conducted molecular epidemiological studies
on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the main causative virus
of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), including surveys of the
HIV-1 spread and genetic analysis of virus strains prevalent in Indonesia
and other Southeast Asian countries. Through the joint researches, we aim
to accumulate information that can contribute to the implementation of
HIV/AIDS countermeasures in Indonesia. We also conduct basic research aimed
at a complete cure for HIV/AIDS as well as research on improving recombinant
lentivirus (viral vector).
Dengue
We have conducted basic research to clarify the proliferation mechanism
of the dengue virus, the causative virus of dengue and severe dengue. In
cooperation with the Kobe University Overseas Joint Research Center established
in Indonesia, we have also conducted research to clarify the molecular
mechanism of dengue severity.
Viral hepatitis
We have conducted basic researches such as searching for novel antiviral
substances and the analysis of viral replication mechanisms.
