Respiratory Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and lung cancer from both basic and clinical perspectives.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring intractable respiratory diseases through clinical specimens and animal studies.
The Respiratory Medicine Lab handles a wide variety of respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, diffuse lung disease, and respiratory infections.
With rapid population aging, the number of patients with respiratory diseases is expected to increase further.
In collaboration with basic science departments and the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, the lab is advancing research toward biomarker development and drug discovery for intractable respiratory diseases.
Recently, the lab has also been focusing on research into diffuse lung diseases and respiratory infections.
Key terms
- COPD
- Abbreviation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Along with asthma, it is a representative obstructive lung disease.
- Biomarker
- An indicator, such as a molecule in the body, that serves as a marker of the presence or state of a disease.
- Omics analysis
- A method of comprehensively examining the molecules contained in a specimen, such as genes and proteins.

Aiming to develop biomarkers and drugs for intractable respiratory diseases, the lab studies obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and COPD, as well as lung cancer. In collaboration with basic science departments and the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, it combines analysis of clinical specimens with animal studies.
*Illustrative imageNovel molecules associated with obstructive lung diseases
Using abundant clinical specimens from obstructive lung disease, the lab performs omics analysis to search for new disease-associated molecules. It examines their functions in cultured cells and genetically modified animals, and confirms them in large-scale disease cohorts.
*Illustrative imageClinical and basic research on lung cancer
For lung cancer, the lab participates in large-scale clinical studies, and also conducts basic research on the onset and progression of lung cancer as well as research on tumor immunity.
