  Microscopic observation using live organisms allows us to visualize intercellular communication in real time. This technology will add spatial and temporal information to the conventional two-dimensional information in histology, physiology, and pathology, thereby opening a new field of study. We are currently focusing on a）development of probes for small molecules and kinases, b）improvement of fluorescent protein brightness, and c）elucidation of cell-to-cell signaling pathways between cancer cells and immune cells, and in epithelial tissues.
