Yosuke Yamamoto, Professor

The lab conducts clinical epidemiology research to resolve questions about medicine and health, including those that healthcare professionals come to have while working with patients. In particular, the lab studies health status based on the subjective views of patients and residents, such as health-related quality of life (QoL), and generates evidence that helps solve problems in medicine and society. The lab also places importance on research that measures and closes the gap between this evidence and actual medical and social practice. The lab also takes part in running the MCR (Master of Clinical Research) course, a one-year program that trains clinical researchers from among physicians and dentists.

The lab uses the methods of clinical epidemiology and pharmacoepidemiology to conduct clinical research with various large-scale healthcare and health checkup databases, as well as research on digital health. The lab turns the many questions that arise in clinical practice (clinical questions) into forms that can be studied (research questions), and conducts clinical research that evaluates and develops diagnostic methods and examines the effects and side effects of drug and surgical treatments. Graduate students are supervised under a mentorship system involving many faculty members who are well versed in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics.

The lab aims to improve the quality, efficiency, and equity of health care, and to contribute to building a sustainable, resilient health care system and a society of healthy longevity. It is an interdisciplinary, problem-solving-oriented field built on statistics and epidemiology, the foundations of social medicine, together with economics, management science, engineering, and the social sciences. Working closely with society and clinical settings, the lab uses large-scale, diverse data to grasp the big picture, and works on building communities for healthy longevity that are also resilient to health crises.

The lab conducts research and education on ethics and institutions across a range of topics in health care, research and development, and public health. It welcomes people who want to explore topics of interest in depth, such as decision-making in health care, ethical issues concerning the body and life, and policy, as well as those who want to follow developments in society and turn them into concrete outcomes. The lab focuses not only on training people who want to study ethics, but also on introductory education for students and for researchers in health care and medical science.

The lab explores how information should be provided to support the solution of health and medical problems. Viewing information in terms of creating, communicating, and using it, the lab carries out research and practice aimed at building better environments. Not bound by the frameworks of public health or clinical medicine, the lab deals with health and medical information across fields, conducting education and research on clinical practice guidelines, decision analysis, information literacy, eHealth, health communication, and information ethics.

The Health Crisis Management Information Analysis / Environmental Health Lab conducts research and education mainly on infectious diseases. Its subfields include estimating the natural history of infectious diseases and clarifying how infections spread using mathematical and statistical models, evaluating control measures, and forecasting epidemics. The theoretical epidemiology (mathematical epidemiology) of infectious diseases is the common pillar of all of these. The lab also works on outbreak investigation, surveillance, development of new modeling techniques, and demographic research. The lab aims to train advanced specialists in infectious disease epidemiology and theoretical epidemiology.

The Health Promotion and Behavior Lab, drawing on a behavioral science perspective, applies analytical methods such as causal inference and machine learning to randomized controlled trials and observational data, and generates evidence that is useful for health promotion. The lab welcomes people, regardless of specialty or background, who want to explore the questions "Why does a given intervention or policy improve health? For whom is it effective?" Building on causal inference and epidemiological methodology, the lab provides consistent guidance from study planning through publication in international journals.

The lab's preventive medicine group aims to resolve "familiar clinical questions" at every stage of disease, from health promotion and disease prevention and treatment to emergency resuscitation for cardiac arrest, and to generate evidence that changes clinical practice. With the motto "Before scholarship, everyone is just a student," the lab values learning and researching together, without distinguishing between faculty and students. The lab emphasizes that students themselves experience the whole process from planning clinical research to writing it up as a paper, and it provides thorough guidance from faculty along with a weekly conference.
Naoki Kondo, Professor

Social epidemiology studies how social circumstances such as education, income, occupation, and social connections, as well as the social environment, including policy, culture, the economy, and income inequality, affect people's health. The lab clarifies these "social determinants of health" and conducts research and development to reduce the health disparities that arise from them. Working closely with sociology, economics, behavioral science, policy science, cultural anthropology, and other fields, the lab promotes the creation of a society where everyone can become healthy naturally, aiming to achieve well-being for all people. The lab hosts the Social Impact Evaluation endowed course, established in 2024.
Manabu Hasegawa, Professor

The lab conducts research and develops training programs to strengthen the "crisis response capacity" required in government, healthcare, long-term care, and other settings during health crises such as disasters and infectious disease outbreaks. At the scene of a health crisis, quick decisions and actions are required even when resources, information, and time are lacking. Learning from the experience and knowledge of those who came before, the lab organizes the "practical knowledge" that people on the front lines need into usable forms, building an academic foundation for preparing for the next crisis.
