Pathophysiological Function Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
This research unit in medical laboratory science explores the mechanisms of diabetes and blood diseases.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how diseases arise from the perspective of laboratory testing
At the Pathophysiological Function Analysis Lab, faculty members of the Medical Laboratory Science Division, Department of Health Sciences, School of Medicine study diabetes, blood diseases, bacteria, and more.
Professor Hitoshi Katsuta's research themes are classifying the pathophysiology of diabetes using laboratory data from Kyushu University Hospital, and elucidating the mechanism by which pancreatic islets regenerate.
Assistant Professor Tomoko Kimura investigates the mechanism by which myelodysplastic syndromes transform into leukemia, and the relationship between hormone replacement therapy and lifestyle-related diseases.
Lecturer Masamune Aihara's research theme is clinical microbiology.
Key terms
- Myelodysplastic syndromes
- Blood diseases in which blood cells are not produced properly. They can progress to acute myeloid leukemia.
- Pancreatic islets
- Clusters of cells within the pancreas that secrete hormones regulating blood glucose.
- Epidemiological study
- Research that examines the relationship between a disease and its contributing factors using data from many people.
ResearchResearch themes
From the standpoint of medical laboratory science, the lab studies the mechanisms of diabetes, blood diseases, and more. Each faculty member works on a different theme, such as analysis of laboratory data, pancreatic islet regeneration, blood diseases, and bacteria.
*Illustrative imageClassifying diabetes pathophysiology using laboratory data
This research uses laboratory data from Kyushu University Hospital to create a new classification of diabetes pathophysiology. It draws on big data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
*Illustrative imagePancreatic islet regeneration and regenerative medicine
This research aims to clarify the mechanism of pancreatic islet regeneration and to establish regenerative medicine for diabetes. Research keywords include pluripotent stem cells such as iPS cells and ES cells, and pancreatic tissue stem cells.
*Illustrative imageHow MDS develops into leukemia
This research aims to clarify the mechanism by which myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) undergo malignant transformation into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The research keywords are myelodysplastic syndromes and acute leukemia.
*Illustrative imageHormone replacement therapy and lifestyle-related diseases
This is an epidemiological study examining the relationship between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and lifestyle-related diseases. Research keywords include menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and diabetes.
