[Outline of current research] 

Development of Chemical Reaction Prediction System.: Computer-assisted prediction of chemical reactions is investigated, including development of appropriate representations of factors controlling chemical reactions, systematic classification of chemical reactions, and model construction for prediction.

Development of NMR Chemical Shift Prediction System.: Computer-assisted prediction of NMR chemical shifts is investigated. Highly accurate prediction by considering stereochemical information is one of the benefit points of our system.

Visualizing and Touching for Knowing Chemistry: Chemist and computer interface of chemical software  is investigated. A chemical graphics open source library has been constructed and open to public as a common technology of a chemoinformatics field. A haptic molecular modeling system has been also developed for touching for knowing chemistry.
