Graduate School of Health Sciences

Health Sciences（Master’s Course）

Department of Bioscience and Laboratory Medicine

In this field, physiologic functions and pathological analysis from the cellular level to the entire body are the main focus of education and research. Regarding physiologic functions, education and research pertaining to the latest insights and methodology are conducted, including the structure and function of the living body, homeostatic functions, immunoregulation, and various disease states (e.g., leukemia, diabetes, arteriosclerosis). Regarding pathological analysis, in comparison with normal control, education and research on analysis methods from the genetic level to the cellular level, and even to the macroscopic level are carried out. Predicted results, newest insights, current problems and their solutions, latest trends, future issues and development of the pathology of tumors, blood diseases, and infections are also considered. These results lead to development of diagnoses and treatment.
