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.

Clinical Research Promotion is a field that grew out of the Early Clinical Trial Unit and was launched in fiscal 2021. The lab conducts clinical research in accordance with the principles of clinical science. Clinical research that turns life science findings into practical applications is central to developing new medical technologies, and it is also essential for optimizing the medical technologies we have today. The lab welcomes young people who want to help realize the next generation of medicine.

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.
