The lab studies a wide range of topics from basic research to clinical application, centered on lung cancer, thymic tumors, lung transplantation, and regenerative medicine.
In recent years, through cancer genome analysis, AI-assisted diagnosis, and biomarker development, the lab has been advancing translational research with next-generation medicine in view.
At Osaka University Hospital, thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine, and diagnostic and therapeutic radiology work together under a Respiratory Center system.
In thoracic surgery, the lab also actively introduces thoracoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery.
