Developmental Pediatrics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uncovers the mechanisms of intractable childhood diseases through genomics and iPS cells.
AboutAbout the lab
Protecting the health and happiness of all children
The Developmental Pediatrics lab focuses on abnormalities that arise during child development, and advances both basic research and clinical practice on a wide range of intractable childhood diseases.
Many childhood diseases result from abnormalities in the developmental process, so studying those abnormalities leads to new diagnostics and treatments for intractable diseases.
The lab practices holistic medicine that treats each child as a whole person.
The lab includes an endowed chair in neonatology.
Key terms
- Omics analysis
- Analysis that comprehensively examines molecular information in the body, such as the genome and epigenome
- iPS cells
- Stem cells made from cells of the body that can become many different types of cells (induced pluripotent stem cells)
- Congenital disease
- A disease a person has had since birth
ResearchResearch themes
The lab regards it as an important mission to advance translational research that bridges the findings of basic research to clinical medicine, in order to deliver more advanced, high-quality care. It puts great effort into training physician-scientists who pursue research and clinical practice side by side.
