Disease Genome Epidemiology and Genome Informatics Lab (Center for Genomic Medicine)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses large-scale data such as genomes to uncover the mechanisms and treatments of multifactorial diseases.
AboutAbout the lab
Genomes and data for medicine tailored to each person.
The Disease Genome Epidemiology and Genome Informatics Lab uses genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analysis technologies to study diseases involving many factors at multiple levels.
The lab builds databases linked to patients' clinical information, aiming for prediction, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention tailored to each individual.
It is carrying out the Nagahama Project, Japan's first large-scale genome cohort study of community residents.
The lab is a division of the Center for Genomic Medicine, which is affiliated with the Graduate School of Medicine, and it is also involved in an international joint doctoral program with McGill University in Canada and in collaboration with the Institut Pasteur.
