48Associate ProfessorNOMURA TakaomiAssociate ProfessorHASHIMOTO TomokoOutlook for researchThe identification of new enzymes and theirimprovement through genetic engineering areexpected to contribute to many domains,includingand chemicalsynthesis. We are also attempting to developtechnology for making the production ofuseful proteins possible through alteration oftheribosomesmolecular level.food, medicine,and related factorsOutlook for students after graduationMany graduates are employed as researchersin a variety of fields, including by food andpharmaceuticaland chemicalcompaniesmanufacturers that handle various materials.Outlook for researchBiomaterials have various potential to help biologicalfunctions,improvetreat diseases, heal wounds,recoveries, and so on. I believe that the development ofnovel biomaterials bring our improved Quality of Life.the development of novel usefulI’m carrying outbiomaterials in order to constructthe future withhuman-friendly society.Outlook for students after graduationMoving from understanding of functional biomolecules to their application, utilizing unused protein resources, and developing production technologiesDepartment ofApplied BiologyDepartment ofApplied BiologyAssociate Professor Nomura tookhis current position in 2017 afterworking at the Lion CorporationResearcharesearch associate and assistantprofessor in the Faculty of TextileScienceatShinshu University. His principalarea of research is the analysis offunctional biomoleculesusingmolecular biology and geneticengineering technology.AssociateTomokoProfessorHashimoto worked as a researchInstitute offellow at NationalAgrobiological(nowNational Agriculture and FoodResearch Organization)beforecoming Nara Women’s Universityas an assistant professor. She tookher current position in 2021, andspecialization isher area ofpolymeric biomaterials.We explore and examine the useful biomolecules with various techniques;a student is isolating the target protein by using column chromatography.Trying to create the functionally improved proteins (e.g. higher enzymaticactivity), based on the genetic and protein engineering technologies.In research activities, we repeat investigations, designs,experiments and considerations many times to developnovel materials. I’m aiming at training so that studentshave many experiences via laboratory activities and theywill play active parts after graduation.asandCenterTechnologyandSciencesatI am carrying out research on proteins, a principle type offunctional biomolecule. My lab uses molecular biology andgenetic engineering technology to identify and improveuseful proteins such as enzymes and to develop protein-manufacturing technologies.Silk fibroin has used as the luxury materials for long time.Recently,they are focused on as human-friendly naturematerials. However, we don’t understand why silk fibroin shows“human-friendly” properties scientifically.In our laboratory, we are studying to elucidate and controlvarious properties of silk fibroin for medical applications.Additionally, we are trying to immobilize biological functionalmolecules onto biomaterials by human and eco-friendlymethods for further applications and developments.Cells cultured on a silk fibroin filmA functional peptide with biological activityElucidating the influence of silk fibroin on our tissues and creating novel biomaterials
