I work on interdisciplinary research across physics (chaotic dynamical systems and statistical physics), biology (metabolism and ecology), and (micro)economics. For example, I have developed a new field of science, “microeconomics of metabolism,” by integrating biology and microeconomics. I am also trying to develop “statistical physics of cellular populations and ecosystems.”
By integrating these theories, I will establish a general theory for multi-scale biological systems. It will enable us to predict and control the (metabolic) responses of biological systems such as cancer cells, immune systems, and microbial ecosystems against operational perturbations, possibly leading to the discovery of novel drug targets and therapeutic agents.
