In the future, we plan to combine Professor Ghannoum's clinical microbiological research with Associate Professor Saegusa's metabolome analysis research using mass spectrometry, and plan to conduct joint research to help prevent new infectious diseases, as well as international exchange through research. The project is expected to contribute to improving the university's international research capabilities.
