Advanced Emergency and Disaster Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab whose work ranges from research on treating organ failure to disaster medicine.
AboutAbout the lab
Researching emergency and disaster medicine, and training professionals.
The Advanced Emergency and Disaster Medicine Lab conducts research in emergency medicine and trains emergency physicians.
Taking advantage of Kyushu University as a comprehensive university, the lab collaborates with other basic research fields and takes as its research themes redox imaging of organ failure, the development of new drug delivery systems, and regenerative medicine using stem cells and other cells.
In disaster medicine, the lab focuses on building systems that use IT and other technologies to quickly collect disaster information and deliver medical care to the scene, as well as on disaster preparedness education for the general public.
The graduate school offers a doctoral program and a master's program for working professionals.
Key terms
- Disaster medicine
- Medicine that deals with people injured or ill because of natural disasters, terrorism, and similar events
- ARDS

ResearchResearch themes
Research at the Advanced Emergency and Disaster Medicine Lab is divided into emergency medicine and disaster medicine. In emergency medicine, the lab works on the diagnosis and treatment of various types of organ failure, and on developing new treatments for ARDS, an intractable condition.
*Illustrative imageDiagnosis and Treatment of Organ Failure
Among the results from around 2020 listed on its website, the lab showed that sodium thiosulfate reduces myocardial damage caused by the anticancer drug doxorubicin. In autoimmune hepatitis, it found that tipifarnib, a farnesylation inhibitor, reduces liver injury.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping New Treatments for ARDS
ARDS is also the condition behind severe pneumonia caused by COVID-19 infection, and the lungs sometimes do not return to normal. Steroids are currently the only treatment, and the lab is working on developing new treatments that can be applied in clinical practice.
