AboutAbout the lab
Tackling dementia through both cure and care
The lab approaches dementia from a medical perspective, aiming at treatment (cure), while also valuing the perspective of care in its research.
In Japan, a super-aged society, measures against dementia have become an urgent issue both medically and socially.
Public interest is high, and the lab is also involved in a variety of awareness-raising activities. Motivated people who are interested in dementia are welcome, regardless of their background.

*Illustrative imageSupport for the daily lives of people with dementia
So that people can keep living independently for longer even after developing dementia, the lab develops tools to detect difficulties in daily life early and support people through them, and studies designs that are easy for people with dementia to understand.
*Illustrative imageCognitive resilience
Some people keep their cognitive function even when there are disease-related changes in the brain. The lab studies the factors behind this high cognitive resilience.
*Illustrative imageNew drugs and decision-making support
The lab studies the support that people with reduced cognitive function need in order to choose their own treatment and engage in it with understanding and agreement, from the perspectives of obtaining consent and supporting advance care planning (ACP).
