Research Interests:

The Shoji lab is trying to modify the functions of biomolecules such as proteins existing in nature via chemically approaches to design and synthesize novel molecules that interact with biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, resulting in realization of novel and unique functions. Starting from creating new approaches that differ greatly from the conventional methods, we are conducting research consistently until it can actually be used as drugs or biocatalysts. Although it often takes time to report as achievements, we are always looking for novelty different from others, keeping in mind the development of unique research.
