Welcome to Laboratory of Ploidy Pathology
Welcome to the website of the Laboratory of Ploidy Pathology at the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences, Osaka University.
As a laboratory specializing in cellular ploidy, we are conducting research with the aim of elucidating the relationship between polyploidy and disease, and developing new medical treatments that target ploidy.
This website provides information about our research, achievements, and members.

Hayashi-kun's paper was published in Cell Death Discovery.
The paper reveals that polyploidization promotes the accumulation of genomic damage while mitigating its impact. This can be one of the mechansms of cancer evolution, and polyploid cells can be a source of cancer development and treatment resistance.
