Obstetrics and Gynecology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab is an obstetrics and gynecology lab that explores women's lifelong health through clinical and basic research.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring clinical questions through the lens of basic research.
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Lab works on clinical care, research, and education in obstetrics and gynecology, protecting women's health throughout life, from pregnancy and childbirth to gynecologic cancer.
In research, the lab aims to investigate questions that arise in daily clinical practice from the perspective of basic research, and to bring findings from basic research back into clinical care.
The lab is divided into research groups for immunology, endocrinology, perinatal medicine, and pathology.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology."
Key terms
- Peritoneal dissemination
- The spread of cancer cells as if scattered across the peritoneum, the membrane lining the inside of the abdomen.
- Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
- Conditions in which blood pressure becomes high during pregnancy. They are subjects of perinatal research and clinical care.
- Molecular targeted therapy
- A treatment that targets a specific molecule involved in a disease and suppresses its function.
ResearchResearch themes
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Lab aims to investigate questions that arise in daily clinical practice from the perspective of basic research, and to bring the findings back into clinical care. Research is divided into immunology, endocrinology, perinatal, and pathology groups, and covers a broad range of topics from pregnancy and childbirth to gynecologic cancer.
*Illustrative imageResearch on Pregnancy and Reproduction
The immunology lab conducts research related to pregnancy, centered on reproductive medicine. It studies chromosome testing of chorionic villi from miscarriage and stillbirth, groups of genes involved in infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, and the mechanisms that maintain mitochondria in oocytes, and it collaborates with basic research labs and companies.
*Illustrative imageMolecular Mechanisms of Gynecologic Disease and New Treatments
The endocrinology lab investigates the mechanisms of peritoneal dissemination in ovarian cancer and of factors that worsen cervical cancer, and conducts basic research that leads to the development of new treatments. It also focuses on molecular targeted therapy for endometriosis and uterine fibroids, and on cytokines in preterm birth.
*Illustrative imageResearch on Preterm Birth, Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy, and the Fetus
The perinatal lab covers the prevention of preterm birth, the treatment and management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and the diagnosis and in-utero treatment of fetal diseases. In clinical work, it conducts multicenter studies, and in basic research, it studies topics such as the mechanisms of fetal brain injury using animal models.
*Illustrative imagePathology of Gynecologic Tumors and Anticancer Drug Resistance
The pathology lab diagnoses all obstetrics and gynecology pathology specimens together with the pathology department, and members acquire knowledge of pathological diagnosis. In basic research, the lab works to clarify the mechanisms of anticancer drug resistance and analyzes genetic changes, focusing on small cell carcinoma of the cervix, large cell carcinoma of the uterine body, and sarcoma of the uterine body.
