Neurosurgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab turns basic research and clinical trials into new treatments for diseases of the brain and spinal cord.
AboutAbout the lab
Evidence-based neurosurgery.
Neurosurgery is the field responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, as well as diseases of the cerebral blood vessels.
The lab is distinguished by three strengths: evidence-based clinical practice, the development of innovative treatments grounded in basic research, and the creation of new evidence through high-quality clinical trials.
The lab carries out joint research with a wide range of departments inside and outside the university and brings the results back into patient care. It actively encourages study abroad in Japan and overseas, and it accepts students and physicians from both Japan and other countries.
