A lab that investigates the mechanisms of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis through skin immunity.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring disease mechanisms and treatment through skin immunity
The Environmental Cohort Division is one of the divisions of the Center for Cohort Study, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, and is led by Prof. Nakahara.
According to the Center for Cohort Study's website, it has carried out large-scale cohort studies (an epidemiological method that follows a population over a long period to investigate the causes and treatments of disease) for more than half a century.
Prof. Nakahara specializes in dermatology and conducts basic and clinical research on elucidating the mechanisms of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis and on developing new treatments.
Key terms
- Cohort study
- An epidemiological method that follows a population over a long period to investigate the causes and treatments of disease
- Atopic dermatitis
