The Yoshida Laboratory aims to engineer interdisciplinary technologies that lead to solutions for global issues from environmental, ecological, and economic aspects, through studies on CO2 capture, waste plastics depolymerization, and the pursuit of the origin of life. The sustainability studies offer potential support for the economic growth of developing countries facing environmental pollution. They emphasize consistency with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water). The Yoshida Laboratory also focuses on elucidating the origin of life by creating artificial models for biomembranes using non-natural synthetic polymers, which leads to the fabrication of artificial life.
