Goal

This program is intended to educate able researchers in medical science, with a sophisticated ability to work creatively and independently, who have a breadth of knowledge and humanity, and who can contribute to the development of medical science and the improvement of social welfare.

 
Features of the curriculum

We have organized our advanced research course into 5 course, subdivided into 22 subdivisions. Fields of research include the molecular level of genes and proteins, regeneration medicine, organ control, and environmental medicine.
Free from conventional departmental limitations on research guidance, the academic staffs involved in the courses and related fields support the education and research work of graduate students, while maintaining close liaison with one another beyond the normal scope of basic medical and clinical departments.
During the first and second years of the program, through the core curriculum common to all courses, students acquire extensive knowledge, learning statistics, analysis, and other skills fundamental to research. Each course has its obligatory subjects which may be needed in specialized work later. The curriculum is thus designed to give great emphasis to the success and creativity of graduate students’ research.

Outline of Doctoral Program of Medicine
 

Doctoral Program consists of five courses and twenty-two divisions and Four courses.

 
Biological Information Science
 
The aim of this course is to elucidate the mechanisms of transmission of biological function-information in from the molecular levels such as intracellular gene and protein to the macro levels such as tissue, organ and individual under this research system that has incorporated the various research fields. The goal of this course is to promote the medical research that will develop new diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

Integrated Medical Science
 
This course contains neuroscience, endocrinology, immunology, infection control, psychology and clinical medicine. From the integrated viewpoints, the aim of this course is to analyze the mutual interaction between body and mind of the patients with Alzheimer's disease, Meniere's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arteriosclerosis and psychosomatic disorder, and to contribute the solution of the modern social problems caused by stresses from the medical approach.

Regeneration and Tumor Science
 
The aim of this course is to newly develop embryology, regeneration and tumor science, analyzing embryo, regeneration and tumor by means of the recent advanced biomolecular techniques, and integrating with the conventional morphological information. And furthermore it aims to prevent the occurrence of disease by the molecular analysis of the various diseases with genetic factors. The goal of this course is to apply the regenerative medicine to human, through the study on the establishment of ES cell of monkey and mouse.

Translational Research Science
 
This course aims to establish the progressive therapeutic system by incorporating the advanced projects and themes in various fields into the study of organ regulation. For example, it aims to elucidate the mechanism of organ regulation by investigation of organ reaction to extracorporeal environment, or to promote QOL by the advanced researches such as genetic therapy and transplantation.

Science of Lifestyle-Related Diseases
 
This course aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism of pathophysiology of lifestyle-related diseases, especially vascular function, and to apply the basic science for the identification of the patients with lifestyle-related diseases and the prevention, by analyzing the relation of the involved factors with disease related specific genes to the occurrence of the disease.
Furthermore, the goal of this course is to establish health education system and guidelines of therapeutics, and to clarify idiosyncrasies of our nation by the comparison of multinational studies, and relations of labor and health.
