Welcome to Minami Lab.


Living systems have evolved extraordinary machinery for molecular synthesis. Yet, their capabilities are ultimately bounded by inherent constraints.

We aim to transcend these limits through the power of chemistry, creating “uncharted natural products” beyond the reach of nature.

If this challenge excites you, we encourage you to
get in touch. Further information on graduate admissions can be found here.

Surpassing Biology through the Power of Chemistry


Living systems use enzymes as catalysts to produce remarkably complex natural products.


By understanding and expanding these mechanisms, we aim to create “uncharted natural products” that have never been accessed before.


Mastering enzymes to develop new synthetic strategies. This is our research.
