Neurology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A neurology lab that studies diseases of the nerves and muscles, from basic science through clinical practice.
AboutAbout the lab
From basic research that uncovers disease mechanisms to treatments that reach patients.
The Neurology Lab studies diseases of the nerves and muscles, including cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, neuroimmune disease, epilepsy, peripheral nerve disease, and muscle disease.
Its mission is to pursue, in a continuous line, basic research that uncovers the root of disease mechanisms, advanced clinical research, and translational research that delivers new treatments to patients.
The lab aims to realize "Neurology That Cures," truly delivering its research results to patients.
It also sets the goal of training people who can pose their own questions and open up new frontiers in medicine.
Key terms
- Translational research
- Research that connects the results of basic research to clinical research and brings them to patients as actual treatments
- Neurodegenerative disease
- A general term for diseases in which nerve cells gradually deteriorate and are lost, leading to a decline in physical movement and cognitive function
- Neuroimmune disease
- A disease in which abnormal immune function is involved and causes damage to the nervous system

ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to overcome neuromuscular diseases, the lab pursues in a continuous line basic research that uncovers the root of disease mechanisms, advanced clinical research, and translational research that delivers new treatments to patients. The lab sees advances in molecular biology, genetics, immunology, biopharmaceutical engineering, and information science as opening new possibilities even for diseases that have been difficult to treat until now.
