Machine-translated · View original
A lab where internal medicine and orthopedic surgery work together on research centered on rheumatoid arthritis.
AboutAbout the lab
Internal medicine and orthopedic surgery join forces to bring rheumatic diseases under control.
The lab is an endowed department established to advance clinical care, research, and education for rheumatic diseases, centered on rheumatoid arthritis, that cause joint pain and inflammation. It is part of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Rheumatology specialists from internal medicine and orthopedic surgery work together to build a patient cohort and a sample bank, and conduct both clinical and basic research.
The lab runs outpatient clinics at the Rheumatology Center of Kyoto University Hospital. Alongside providing cutting-edge care, it works to educate medical staff and patients and to provide them with information.
