Gynecology and Obstetrics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that supports lifelong care for women through research on cancer, pregnancy, and reproduction.
AboutAbout the lab
Addressing every stage of a woman's life cycle.
The lab consists of four fields (perinatal medicine, gynecologic oncology, reproductive medicine, and women's health medicine) and addresses issues across women's entire life cycle, from adolescence to menopause.
Perinatal medicine supports the health of mother and child during pregnancy; gynecologic oncology deals with benign and malignant tumors in women; and reproductive medicine deals with infertility and reproductive endocrinology.
Women's health medicine is taught as primary care covering all diseases related to the physical and mental characteristics specific to women.
Key terms

- The process by which an embryo grown from a fertilized egg burrows into the lining of the uterus and takes hold.
ResearchResearch themes
Each of the four divisions conducts diverse research linked to clinical practice.
