ResearchResearch themes
The lab carries out research in a wide range of fields to solve questions and problems that arise in clinical practice, and creates new evidence. It works on clinical research, basic research, database research, and research and development.
*Illustrative imageMulticenter clinical research
The lab conducts many multicenter studies and interdisciplinary research in collaboration with other fields. It also carries out research on infectious diseases using the latest technologies, as well as clinical research using AI.
*Illustrative imageBasic research on the vascular endothelial glycocalyx
The lab considers that diabetic patients become severely ill from infections because of microcirculatory disturbance caused by damage to the glycocalyx. It gives a drug to diabetic mice and examines whether the glycocalyx recovers and survival improves.
*Illustrative imageNationwide database research
The lab analyzes large volumes of real-world data from nationwide sources such as the DPC database and JIPAD. It produces new evidence on themes such as sepsis, acute respiratory failure, and prolonged mechanical ventilation.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of medical education tools
To provide high-quality education for early-career healthcare professionals while reducing the burden on instructors, the lab develops medical education tools through joint research with companies. It co-developed GrowSIM: Initial Emergency Care edition, a simulation education support program, which is now used for education in clinical settings.
