Clinical Laboratory Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab advances research on laboratory testing and infectious diseases, aiming for a society that is not troubled by infectious diseases.
AboutAbout the lab
Toward a society not troubled by infectious diseases.
The lab conducts clinical practice, education, and research in clinical laboratory medicine, infectious diseases, and clinical microbiology.
By interpreting epidemiological information at every scale, from the finest details to the broadest trends, the lab works on developing highly accurate diagnostic techniques for clinical laboratory testing and on building solid evidence for effective treatments.
To realize a "society not troubled by infectious diseases," the lab collaborates with a wide range of fields, going beyond clinical medicine.
Key terms
- Clinical laboratory testing
- Tests that examine blood, urine, tissue, and other samples to help diagnose disease and guide treatment decisions
- Multidrug-resistant bacteria
- Bacteria that have become resistant to multiple antimicrobial drugs
- Whole-genome sequencing
- Reading and analyzing the entire DNA sequence of an organism
ResearchResearch themes
Infectious diseases are caused by diverse pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and patients' immune status also varies widely. The lab pursues three themes: developing testing and diagnostic technologies for infectious diseases, controlling infections within hospitals, and practicing scientific infectious disease care to support both.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping new testing methods for infectious diseases
Even with microscopy, culture, and genetic detection, tests to identify the causative microorganism are still not sufficient. In collaboration with the clinical laboratory of Kyoto University Hospital and many companies, the lab researches the development of new testing methods and their clinical application.
*Illustrative imageCare and control of severe infections in the hospital
For every patient with a severe infectious disease at Kyoto University Hospital, a team of infectious disease specialists from the infection control department takes part in diagnosis and treatment decisions, working to improve treatment outcomes. The lab also performs whole-genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant bacteria.
