AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling the unknowns of pediatric surgery
The Pediatric Surgery Lab (Pediatric Surgery, University of Tsukuba) treats surgical diseases in children and also works to clarify diseases whose causes are not yet understood.
Among the diseases that pediatric surgery handles, many have unknown causes even when treatments are established, and the greeting message states that this is true of most congenital diseases.
The research introduction page presents a collaborative study that investigates the cause of acute appendicitis in children through analysis of the microbiota.
For medical students, the affiliated hospital accepts observation visits and clinical clerkships at any time, and it is stated that applicants' alma mater does not matter for joining the department.
