Orthopedic surgery treats diseases and injuries of the entire musculoskeletal system, from birth to the end of life. Knee pain, shoulder pain, and low back pain are experienced by many people, and fractures of the femur and spine are a major cause of older adults becoming bedridden. Overcoming impairments of motor function not only improves patients' quality of life but also enables social participation and reduces the burden of care. The lab aims to realize a society where people can move their bodies in good health throughout their lives. The department includes two endowed units: Musculoskeletal Function Reconstruction and Advanced Medicine for Rheumatic Diseases.

Oral surgery is a department that studies the form, function, and disease mechanisms of the mouth, jaw, and face, centering on the teeth, periodontal tissue, and jawbone, and trains people who can devise and carry out better treatments. Research uses a wide range of approaches, from genetic analysis to biomedical engineering using biomaterials and CAD/CAM, the introduction of AI, and epidemiological studies. The goal is to bring research results back into clinical oral surgery.

Psychiatry was established in 1902 as the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology, and it has played a central role in clinical practice and research in Japanese psychiatry. The lab has left a significant mark in psychopathology, neuropsychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, neuropathology, and epileptology. While carrying on its tradition of emphasizing clinical research, the lab also flexibly adopts new research methods such as neuroimaging. Its greatest feature is that its various research groups work without barriers and interact with one another, and from this interaction they produce results in clinical care, research, and education.

Medical informatics is a field that aims to acquire informatics knowledge and develop information technology that support the effectiveness and efficiency of medicine and healthcare. Another goal of the lab is to interpret healthcare, a social activity of people, through the generation, transmission, transformation, storage, and use of information. The research is carried out in real clinical settings, with faculty from informatics and medicine working together with many specialists from the hospital and the Graduate School of Medicine. The lab accepts many graduate students from the Graduate School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Informatics, including international students.

The lab aims to contribute to safe, high-quality health care by individualizing and optimizing pharmacotherapy, identifying factors involved in adverse drug reactions and developing new treatments and preventive methods, and generating new evidence on pharmacists' practice. The lab pursues "reverse translational research," in which problems found in the clinic are addressed through basic research and the findings are returned to the clinic. The lab believes that the logical thinking and sense developed through research will open new horizons for clinical pharmacists.

The lab studies how to protect patient safety, which is the foundation of all health care services. The goal of patient safety is to minimize preventable harm caused by health care. As the Department of Patient Safety at Kyoto University Hospital, established in 2017, the lab studies countermeasures against human error that can lead to serious accidents, problems in how complex, advanced medical care is delivered, and differences in how patients and health care professionals perceive risk.

Rehabilitation medicine is the field of medicine that enables people with physical disabilities to once again lead a social life that is fulfilling in both body and mind. In contrast to modern medicine, which emphasizes a high level of organ-specific expertise, the lab treats patients holistically: it diagnoses and assesses motor and cognitive impairments caused by various diseases, and provides treatment and training. The department is one of those in the hospital with the largest number of patients per day, covers a wide range of diseases, and verifies the usefulness of rehabilitation for many diseases using abundant data.

The Medical Statistics and Bioinformatics Lab combines medical statistics and bioinformatics to conduct research that contributes to developing effective new treatments, particularly personalized medicine. The lab works to put multifaceted, complex information, such as biomarkers that predict treatment effects, to use in developing new treatments. Motivated largely by solving problems that arise in collaborations with medical researchers, the lab trains people who can play an active role as members supporting clinical research.

The Early Medical Development Lab was newly established as a graduate division of the Center for Next-Generation Medicine and iPS Cell Therapy Research, which was founded in 2020. The lab teaches how to plan and carry out translational research to efficiently cross the “valley of death” between preclinical research and early-phase clinical trials, as well as how to plan and run Phase 0 and Phase 1 trials. Students learn the know-how of early-phase medical development while gaining experience at the front line of early-phase clinical trials involving patients with cancer or intractable diseases and healthy volunteers, including trials of iPS cell transplantation. The lab accepts inquiries, including requests for lab visits, at any time, whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional, and whether your background is clinical or basic research.

The Translational Research Promotion Lab was launched as a graduate division of the Medical Development Department at the Institute for Advancement of Clinical and Translational Science, Kyoto University Hospital, and began accepting students entering in the 2022 academic year. The Medical Development Department supports researchers aiming to develop new drugs, medical devices, diagnostics, and regenerative medicine, working with institutions inside and outside the university on obtaining patents, partnering with companies, and drawing up development strategies with practical use in mind, such as regulatory affairs. The lab conducts research and education with the aim of training people who can provide this kind of support with a high level of expertise.
