The Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Nutrition carries out consistent research on diabetes, endocrine diseases, and nutritional and metabolic diseases, from elucidating disease mechanisms to creating new medical care. Combining basic research, clinical research, and data science, the lab conducts translational research, including regenerative medicine using iPS cells, omics analysis, and analysis of real-world data. The lab also carries out cross-disciplinary research on Person-Centered Care, health policy, and medical education, contributing to improving the quality of healthcare. Graduate students are encouraged to think and run experiments on their own, and staff teach the necessary techniques.

Primary Care and Emergency Medicine is a new department established in 2006. Kyoto University Hospital is designated as a base hospital for disasters and nuclear disasters, and in 2024 it was designated an Emergency and Critical Care Center. As a pillar of advanced acute care, staff with a variety of specialties work together as a single team. The lab explores how emergency care is changing with the times, including a super-aged society, frequent disasters, and outbreaks of new infectious diseases, and trains the next generation of leaders in emergency and disaster medicine.

With the mission of making kidney disease a curable disease and pioneering a new field of nephrology, the lab integrates clinical care, research, and education. Advances in treatment, a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms, and the progress of personalized medicine are shifting kidney care from medicine that slows progression to medicine that predicts, selects, and intervenes. Starting from clinical questions, the lab brings together understanding at the molecular, cellular, individual, and population levels, and conducts research that connects elucidating disease mechanisms to developing treatments and implementing them in society. The lab aims to train physician scientists who can work on the international stage.

Medical Oncology was established in 2012 as a core department of the Cancer Center at Kyoto University Hospital. The lab works on advanced cancer drug therapy including cancer genomic medicine; clinical development such as trials for drug approval and other clinical studies; basic cancer research; translational research that applies basic findings to the clinic; and programs using biospecimens and real-world data. From elucidating how cancer arises to developing new diagnostics and treatments, applying cancer genomic medicine in the clinic, and palliative care, the lab studies cancer from every angle.

The lab's research centers on skin immunology and allergy. Dermatology practice has long relied heavily on experience-based visual assessment, but it has now entered an era of new drugs, such as molecular targeted drugs, based on disease mechanisms. Because correctly understanding the actions and side effects of new drugs requires a grounding in science, the lab aims to train first-rate physician-scientists. In keeping with Kyoto University's tradition of valuing freedom, the lab works to build a department that respects each member's independence and diversity.

The Developmental Pediatrics lab focuses on abnormalities that arise during child development, and advances both basic research and clinical practice on a wide range of intractable childhood diseases. Many childhood diseases result from abnormalities in the developmental process, so studying those abnormalities leads to new diagnostics and treatments for intractable diseases. The lab practices holistic medicine that treats each child as a whole person. The lab includes an endowed chair in neonatology.

The Radiation Oncology and Image-Applied Therapeutics lab aims to develop innovative radiotherapy technologies for malignant tumors and other conditions, and to apply them in the clinic to improve treatment outcomes. In molecular biology research, the lab investigates why some tumors respond poorly to radiotherapy and develops ways to overcome this resistance. In physics and engineering research, the lab develops high-precision radiotherapy technologies, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy and four-dimensional radiotherapy, which accounts for motion inside the body. The lab welcomes physicians, biologists, and physicists and engineers who are interested in clinical cancer care and in research and development.

The Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine lab is a field that aims to contribute to medicine by making use of imaging technologies. From head to toe, the lab uses a variety of diagnostic imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and angiography, and is involved with almost every clinical department. The lab supports patient care in many ways: it not only provides the information about the body that is needed in the form of images, but also performs minimally invasive treatment guided by images.
Miki Nagao, Professor

The lab conducts clinical practice, education, and research in clinical laboratory medicine, infectious diseases, and clinical microbiology. By interpreting epidemiological information at every scale, from the finest details to the broadest trends, the lab works on developing highly accurate diagnostic techniques for clinical laboratory testing and on building solid evidence for effective treatments. To realize a "society not troubled by infectious diseases," the lab collaborates with a wide range of fields, going beyond clinical medicine.

The lab performs highly precise minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors such as esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancer, as well as for benign conditions such as reflux esophagitis, morbid obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease. The lab values the process of scientifically resolving questions that arise in daily clinical practice, and plans and promotes many clinical studies. The lab also conducts basic research on elucidating the pathology of gastrointestinal cancers and developing new treatments, and develops new medical technologies and surgical education systems, training young surgeons with a broad perspective.
