Machine-translated · View original
The pediatrics department pursues clinical care and research on a wide range of childhood illnesses.
AboutAbout the lab
Delivering better pediatric care through clinical practice, research, and education.
To provide better care for a wide range of childhood diseases, the department engages in clinical practice, research, and education.
It has clinical groups organized by specialty, each providing specialized care.
Research centers on clinically relevant topics, including joint studies with affiliated hospitals and advanced medicine with an eye toward cell therapy and gene therapy.
Key terms
- Genome analysis
- Examining the entire set of genetic information of an organism to explore the causes and features of disease
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- A treatment for blood and immune diseases in which the cells that give rise to blood are transplanted
- Next-generation sequencing
- A method that reads large amounts of DNA sequence at once. Here it is used for genetic diagnosis of infections
ResearchResearch themes
Traditionally, the department has conducted research across a broad range of fields that directly relate to clinical care, such as making previously impossible diagnoses and treatments possible. In areas including hematology, oncology, immunology, neurology, neonatology, infectious diseases, and cardiology, faculty members of each group lead the research.
*Illustrative imageBlood, Cancer, and Immune Diseases
In hematology, oncology, and immunology, the team centers on genome analysis to elucidate disease mechanisms and develop new therapies. In clinical care, it provides hematopoietic and immune cell therapy and is an accredited hematopoietic stem cell transplantation facility.
*Illustrative imageBrain and Nervous System Diseases in Children
The team conducts clinical care and research on the diagnosis and treatment of brain and nervous system diseases in children, including epilepsy, acute encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, and neonatal brain injury.
*Illustrative imageNeonatal Diseases and Stem Cell Research
The team treats a variety of neonatal diseases, including those of preterm and low-birth-weight infants. It also uses stem cells in research aimed at overcoming neonatal diseases that remain difficult to treat.
*Illustrative imageIntractable Viral Infections
The team diagnoses, treats, and studies intractable viral diseases. It uses PCR and next-generation sequencing for genetic diagnosis of infections, and has built a system that leads to early treatment.
