This lab answers clinical questions using large-scale healthcare data.

AboutAbout the lab
Solving clinical questions with data.
The lab uses the methods of clinical epidemiology and pharmacoepidemiology to conduct clinical research with various large-scale healthcare and health checkup databases, as well as research on digital health.
The lab turns the many questions that arise in clinical practice (clinical questions) into forms that can be studied (research questions), and conducts clinical research that evaluates and develops diagnostic methods and examines the effects and side effects of drug and surgical treatments.
Graduate students are supervised under a mentorship system involving many faculty members who are well versed in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics.
