AboutAbout the lab
Researching the prevention of dementia onset from many perspectives
The Functional Imaging Dentistry Lab studies the primary prevention of dementia, that is, preventing its onset.
In a super-aged society, preventing the onset of dementia is an extremely important research theme, and in recent years an association between the oral environment and dementia risk has been shown.
Dementia involves the brain and many other areas, and the lab studies it from many perspectives, including genetic factors, lifestyle factors, and the oral environment.
The lab belongs to the Department of Oral Tumor Pathology (a cooperating department) in the Graduate School of Dentistry.
