AboutAbout the lab
Delivering information for proper drug use to clinical practice
The Shimada Lab conducts research aimed at providing clinical practice with information for the proper use of medicines.
Using meta-analysis, a statistical method that collects and analyzes data from past clinical studies, the lab evaluates whether drug usage and treatments are truly effective.
In the fifth year, students look for research seeds during their training at hospitals and pharmacies. In the sixth year, they build on these seeds to conduct experimental research, such as proposing new hospital-prepared formulations and examining dosing methods.
Key terms
- Meta-analysis
- A statistical method that integrates and analyzes data from multiple independently conducted past clinical studies to reach more reliable results.
- Seeds (research seeds)
- Starting points for research. In this lab, students find them through training in clinical settings.
ResearchResearch themes
A medicine shows its true value only when both the drug itself and the information about it are in place. The lab evaluates medicines using both statistical methods and pharmaceutics experiments, and works on creating information to deliver to clinical practice.
