AboutAbout the lab
Working on the laws and systems that support health
As part of social medicine, the Health Policy lab deals with the laws and systems of health care, medicine, and research and development that contribute to people's health.
Laws and social systems do not directly save the individual patient in front of you, but they directly and indirectly affect the lives, livelihoods, and futures of many citizens.
As part of the Biobank Division of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, the lab also works every day on creating value from biobanks and promoting joint research with companies.
