Urology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores challenges in urologic cancers and kidney transplantation using patient-derived models.
AboutAbout the lab
Connecting clinical care and research, side by side.
The lab puts great effort into developing new medical care for malignant tumors such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, urothelial carcinoma, and testicular cancer, as well as for kidney transplantation and minimally invasive treatment.
The clinical and research divisions are located close together and work in collaboration, balancing translational research that responds to clinical needs with basic research that probes the fundamentals of life science.
While enrolled, graduate students have almost no hospital duties, and an environment has been set up where they can concentrate on research.
Key terms
- Patient-derived xenograft
- A model in which a patient's cancer tissue is transplanted into mice and grown (PDX). It is used to study, for example, how well drugs work.
- Urothelial carcinoma
- Cancer that arises from the cells lining the inside of the bladder, ureters, and other parts of the urinary tract.
- Next-generation sequencing
- A technology that reads large amounts of DNA or RNA sequences quickly, all at once.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on a wide range of themes, including urologic tumors, kidney transplantation, surgical techniques, and the physiology of urination.
