Message

This program is centered on epidemiology. In order to overcome NCD, which hasspread throughout both developed and developing countries, it has become a vitalfactor to have a strong command of epidemiology. At Shiga University of Medical Science, we have not only an abundance of achievements and a strong international network, we have also established Japan’s very first “Research Base for Epidemiology”: “the Center for Epidemiologic Research in Asia.” Within this environment, we are able to conduct leading-edge research and further improve our ability to put epidemiology to practical use. We await those with high ambitions who aim to become leaders in overcoming NCD in Asia
