Hiroto HATAKEYAMAProfessor

Currently, the majority of newly approved drugs are high-molecular drugs such as antibodies. In addition, there has been an increase in the number of approvals in the past few years for nucleic acid drugs classified as medium molecules, nucleic acid drugs using DDS, and cells such as CAR-T cells. New modalities that are different from the conventional ones are increasing and are expected to be developed more and more in the future.

Hatakeyama was engaged in DDS development research for anti-cancer drugs and nucleic acid drugs using liposomes while at the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University supervised by Prof. Hideyoshi Harashima, and also engaged in hyperthermia using metal nanoparticles and biological research using transcriptomics and proteomics information while at MD Anderson Cancer Center. I was also involved in biological research using transcriptomics and proteomics information. Since arriving at Chiba University, I have been conducting research on the analysis of pharmacodynamics, kinetics, and toxicity of antibody drugs, with a focus on immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Based on my experience in various research fields, I would like to deepen my understanding of new modalities in the Hatakeyama Group through research that focuses on clinical issues, and to train students who have strengths in the research and development of drug discovery in these fields. Taking advantage of the unique characteristics of our laboratory, we are also promoting analysis using statistics and machine learning, and the integration of wet and dry methods using data obtained from experiments.

Ph.D. degree is becoming an essential qualification for research in Europe, the U.S., and Asia. Research and development in drug discovery is also becoming globalized, and the need for a Ph.D.. Two papers where Hatakeyama has authored as first author (Hatakeyama H, et al. Adv Drug Deliv Rev, 2011, Hatakeyama et al. Biol Pharm Bull, 2013) have been evaluated as top 1% cited articles in the field of Pharmacology & Toxicology in the world by “Web of Science”. The average of impact factor of my papers is currently above 6. In addition to conducting world-class research, we will continue to promote research and education with the aim of fostering researchers who can play an active role in the world. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in the research in our laboratory.
