The Laboratory of Molecular Medicine focuses on comprehensive characterization of currently-untreatable diseases including cancer on the basis of molecular genomics and aims to make "breakthroughs for human health" by identifying novel disease-related genes/pathways, including potential therapeutic or preventive targets and biomarkers, and to understand human diseases as heterogeneous but intervention-able "biological systems". This group has also organized the facility for the analysis of next-generation high-performance sequencers.
