PAST RESEARCH PROJECTS

Let us introduce the past research projects in our laboratory including those in "Nakamura" laboratory (the research after FY2016 includes only that in Miyazaki group. The research in Yamazaki group is introduced at other web site).

We think there are three kinds of research: 1) research that costs no or little money, 2) research supported by our school fund (budget for faculty research, for undergraduate or graduate student's research projects), 3) national grant such as KAKENHI, competitive funds by foundation, and external funds for contract research. Our laboratory has grown the seeds of research by our school fund, and developed the research with the support by KAKENHI and other funds. The detail of the research by KAKENHI is shown in other page. The summary of our past research project with external funds including them is shown below:
