Pediatrics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that takes questions about children's diseases encountered in clinical care and studies them through seven specialty groups.
AboutAbout the lab
Research that benefits children.
The Pediatrics Lab engages in the clinical care of children's diseases and in research that starts from questions arising in that care.
There are seven specialty groups: neurology, endocrinology, cardiology, immunology and allergy, hematology, neonatology, and infectious diseases.
As the Department of Pediatrics at Chiba University Hospital, the lab covers everything from general care to advanced specialist care and emergency medicine.
For diseases that are difficult to diagnose or treat with current medicine, the lab is developing new medical care.
Key terms
- Congenital anomaly syndromes
- A group of diseases in which changes in genes or chromosomes present from birth cause multiple features in the body's form and function
- Proteomics
- A method for comprehensively examining both the types and amounts of proteins contained in cells or blood
- Clinical question
- A question about the diagnosis or treatment of a disease that arises during clinical care. It is the starting point of research
ResearchResearch themes
Starting from clinical questions found in the course of patient care, the lab carries out research that can benefit children. Seven specialty groups each work on elucidating disease pathophysiology and developing new treatments in their own fields.
*Illustrative imageNeurology: congenital anomaly syndromes and brain MRI
The lab studies congenital anomaly syndromes such as Rett syndrome and tuberous sclerosis through microRNA, proteomics, disease-specific iPS cells, and brain morphology. It also continues comprehensive morphological analysis of human brain MRI as joint research with researchers in the US.
*Illustrative imageClinical forensic medicine: preventing child deaths
To clarify the causes of death in children and prevent accidental deaths, the lab runs a clinical forensic medicine clinic within the pediatric outpatient department. It conducts clinical care and research on child deaths that could have been prevented.
*Illustrative imagePreventing pediatric allergy
The lab conducts a prospective interventional study to determine whether vitamin D can prevent allergic diseases in infants, as well as a cohort study on preventing infant allergic diseases in collaboration with local governments.
*Illustrative imagePathophysiology and treatment of Kawasaki disease
The lab studies the pathophysiology and treatment of Kawasaki disease, which mainly affects infants and young children. It is also working on the specified clinical research study "FORKiDs trial."
