AboutAbout the lab
Tackling public health challenges through practical epidemiology
The Life Course Epidemiology Lab aims to generate evidence using epidemiological methods and contribute to solving public health problems.
In addition to pharmacoepidemiology and clinical epidemiology using medical data such as claims (receipts), the lab works on the use of children's health checkup data and participates in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS).
The lab is open to a wide range of applicants: students and health care professionals who want to learn epidemiology and statistical analysis in practice, and working adults who want to study public health.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Yoshida Lab."
