AboutAbout the lab
Basic and clinical researchers join forces to take on the problems of infectious diseases
The lab addresses the wide range of problems surrounding infectious diseases through clinical care, research, education, and community support.
Since April 2023, the lab has been run as a single department merged with the Department of Infection Pathophysiology, its basic-science counterpart.
Its goals are to translate basic research into clinical practice and to apply the new findings from clinical research to clinical medicine.
The lab also puts effort into training professionals who can manage infectious diseases comprehensively, and the next generation of medical researchers who can contribute to the advancement of medicine.
