Fujita Lab (Uehiro Division for Ethics Research)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies the ethics and institutional frameworks needed for iPS cell-based medicine to be accepted by society.
AboutAbout the lab
Advancing iPS cell research together with society
Research toward the clinical application of human iPS cells is now moving into full swing. To advance this research both quickly and soundly, the cooperation and understanding of society, starting with the people who take part in the research, are essential.
The Fujita Lab investigates ethical regulations and policies in Japan and abroad, as well as public attitudes and actual practices, concerning the challenges of regenerative medicine and cell therapy, chimeric animals made with human iPS cells, and germ cells derived from iPS cells. It works to organize the ethical, legal, and social issues involved and to propose ways of addressing them.
Key terms
- Uninsured treatment
- Medical care not covered by public health insurance, for which the patient pays the full cost
- Human embryo model
- A model made from cells such as iPS cells that mimics the early development of a fertilized egg
- Ethics review
- Prior review by a committee of whether a study is ethically acceptable
ResearchResearch themes
The lab supports the advancement of science through survey research and proposals for international rulemaking.
*Illustrative imageUninsured treatments with little scientific evidence
The lab surveyed 828 cancer specialists about expensive uninsured treatments that lack sufficient scientific evidence.
*Illustrative imageRules for human embryo model research
The status of human embryo models is being debated internationally. The lab clarified the concept of "scientific justification," which is important in ethics review, and proposed a two-tier framework in which the stringency of review varies with the length of the culture period.
