The lab is Tohoku University's Department of Pediatrics, responsible for clinical care, education, and research on childhood diseases.
AboutAbout the lab
Starting from patients to explore pediatric pathophysiology.
Pediatric Pathophysiology (Department of Pediatrics, Tohoku University School of Medicine) is a department that aims to deliver clinical care, education, and research on childhood diseases, each at a high level.
At the university hospital, pediatricians specializing in hematology and oncology, neurology, nephrology, neonatology, endocrinology, inborn errors of metabolism, and cardiology provide highly specialized care in outpatient clinics and on the wards.
One example of the research the lab aims for is to start from the patient in front of them and propose previously unknown disease concepts, clarify pathophysiology, and suggest new treatments.
In the professor's message, the professor says they keenly feel the weight of the words of the fourth professor of the department: "Understanding physiology through pathophysiology."
