The Institute of Cardiovascular Immunology was founded by Prof. Hiroki Kato in January 2018, alongside the establishment of his own group. Since then, our lab has grown into a vibrant, international team, united by a shared passion for cutting-edge science.

We are deeply committed to advancing research in autoimmune diseases and viral recognition, and we actively collaborate with scientific partners across the globe. Driven by curiosity and innovation, we are always excited to welcome enthusiastic new researchers who share our dedication to discovery and our vision for impactful science.
