AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to prevent blindness through research
Precision Ophthalmic Medicine Development Lab (Affiliated Center for Innovative Applied Medicine) is introduced on the website of the Department of Ophthalmology, Tohoku University School of Medicine, as the field to which an Associate Professor belongs.
The Department of Ophthalmology conducts research to create new medical care for intractable eye diseases that existing treatments cannot resolve, with the aim of preventing blindness.
The Professor of the department specializes in glaucoma, and the greeting message on the website states a policy of returning the results of research on developing neuroprotective treatments to clinical practice through translational research.
The website describes the department as distinctive in that physicians, researchers in science, engineering, and pharmaceutical sciences, researchers from companies, and international students from overseas work in the same place and conduct research while discussing with one another.
Key terms
