Professor Tomonori Somamoto's research lab specializes in fish immunology and molecular pathology, focusing on the evolutionary immunology of teleost fish and the development of diagnostic tools for aquatic animal diseases. The lab investigates conserved immune receptors such as the CD2 family in fish to understand the evolution of immune system components across vertebrates. It also develops monoclonal antibodies for the precise detection and diagnosis of emerging fish pathogens, such as atypical Aeromonas salmonicida in koi carp. The lab's work bridges fundamental immunology with applied aquaculture health management.
