School of Medicine- Course Introduction
Department of Neurosurgery
Departments of Clinical Sciences (Clinical Medicine)
We are conducting research into regenerative medicine to prevent the onset of brain and spinal cord diseases, improve emergency transport services, and alleviate aftereffects.
- We are leading a nationwide multicenter clinical trial (randomized controlled trial) to confirm whether catheter treatment to open blood vessels is effective for patients with large cerebral blood vessels blocked and cerebral infarctions. The results of this study are expected to change the treatment indications around the world.
- We are developing computerized equipment that predicts disease names and classifications based on data entered by emergency personnel at the scene. We aim to contribute to improving the quality of emergency transport by making more accurate diagnoses possible through the use of the latest computer technologies such as AI and machine learning.
- In order to improve the aftereffects of brain and spinal cord diseases, we are conducting research aimed at the clinical application of neural regeneration therapy using stem cells. In particular, we are focusing on analyzing ischemia-induced multipotent stem cells (iSCs) and amniotic mesenchymal stem cells discovered at our university. We also participate in clinical trials both in Japan and overseas, and incorporate these into our actual medical practice.
- We are conducting research into diagnostic imaging of the walls (plaque) of cervical and cerebral blood vessels that have become narrowed due to arteriosclerosis. We believe that accurate diagnosis can lead to safer and more effective prevention and treatment.
- We are actively conducting joint research with companies with the aim of commercializing the results and technologies developed in the above research.
