Advanced Medical Development Promotion Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab conducts research and provides support to bring new academia-born therapies into clinical practice.
AboutAbout the lab
Working toward better medical care
The Advanced Medical Development Promotion Lab supports translational research (TR), which carries the results of basic research generated at universities and elsewhere into clinical application.
The lab studies TR from the perspectives of regulatory science, biostatistics, and trial design, and supports development.
Its research also covers unprecedented therapeutic seeds, such as gene therapy, oncolytic viruses, cell therapies including regenerative medicine, and new vaccines and immunotherapies.
Together with the Translational Research and Clinical Trial Center at the University Hospital, the lab also supports the conduct of clinical trials, including trials for regulatory approval.
Key terms
- Translational research
- Research that bridges the results of basic research so that they can be used in diagnosing and treating patients
- Regulatory science
- The science of considering how to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new medical treatments, and under what regulations to deliver them to society
- NDB
- A large-scale national database compiling health insurance claims and specified health checkup records
ResearchResearch themes
Advancing TR requires finding new research seeds and overcoming the barriers to clinical application. To tackle those barriers, the lab conducts research in regulatory science and biostatistics while supporting clinical trials at the University Hospital.
*Illustrative imageSupporting clinical trials at the hospital
The lab supports clinical trials in cooperation with the staff of the University Hospital's Translational Research and Clinical Trial Center. Support from clinical research coordinators is especially indispensable for TR clinical trials, and their work is carried out through collaboration between this lab and the center.
*Illustrative imageIntegrated analysis of omics data
Using clinical samples collected through collaborative research and public databases, the lab pursues multi-omics research that integrates metabolome, DNA methylation, gene expression, and other data, using bioinformatics and biostatistical methods.
*Illustrative imageEpidemiological research using the NDB
Using the NDB, a national database, the lab is carrying out a number of large-scale epidemiological studies focusing on topics such as specific health checkups and post-COVID conditions.
*Illustrative imageStatistical consultation for basic research
For researchers conducting basic research, the lab proposes exploratory statistical methods and ways of carrying out analyses using the concepts of molecular epidemiology.
