Machine-translated · View original
A lab based in anatomy that studies how the environment affects health.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying the environment for the health of future generations
The Bioenvironmental Medicine Lab studies, in a broad way, how the environment affects human health.
Its predecessor was the former First Department of Anatomy, and in the School of Medicine the lab teaches gross anatomy and an introduction to embryology.
Its research is unusual for an anatomy department, centering on preventive medicine suited to the 21st century.
The lab accepts many working-adult graduate students and works with organizations such as the WHO, striving to make sure its research results benefit future generations in society and around the world.
Key terms
- Level 0 prevention (primordial prevention)
- An approach that comes before protecting health through individual effort, removing factors that are harmful to health across society as a whole
- Gross anatomy
- A field of anatomy that studies the structure of the body at sizes visible to the naked eye, without using a microscope
- Exposure
- The body coming into contact with chemicals and the like, which are taken in through food, air, water, and so on
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies, in a broad way, how the environment affects human health. Its work is built on the concept of Level 0 prevention, which prevents harm to health across society as a whole, and it extends anatomy education to the postgraduate education of physicians.
*Illustrative imageLevel 0 prevention and community design
This is an approach that works at the stage before health promotion and disease prevention through individual effort, preventing harm to health across society as a whole. The lab studies how to design communities that remove factors harmful to health and promote well-being, with the aim of putting this into practice in society.
*Illustrative imageClinical Anatomy Lab
The lab reviewed and rebuilt how education and research using cadavers are carried out. It has introduced the latest educational theory into gross anatomy education at the School of Medicine, and also works on the postgraduate education of physicians, which has been overlooked until now.
*Illustrative imageExposure during the fetal period and early childhood
In modern life, combined exposure to many artificial chemicals is unavoidable. The lab treats it as an issue to be investigated how exposure received particularly during the fetal period and early childhood affects later health.
