Research topics: Shinozaki Lab is investigating epigenetic mechanism of neuroinflammation, delirium and aging using human samples as well as mouse model. We are also developing a novel EEG device approach to detect delirium and predict patient outcomes to improve real world clinical practice.
Techniques: With our clinical (real human data), translational (novel device and biomarker development) and basic (epigenetics and animal model) investigation, our goal is to have a better patient care for aging population.
