AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about genomic medicine through children's health surveys
The Pediatric Development Lab is in charge of supporting health surveys of children who take part in the genome cohort study of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project.
This project conducts a large-scale genome cohort study aimed at putting genomic medicine into practical use, and children from Miyagi Prefecture participate in it.
The lab helps assess the health status of the participating children and links this to personalized prevention and medical care.
The lab also aims to carry out research that uses genomic medicine to enable personalized prevention and medical care for multifactorial diseases in children.
