In recent years, aging rapidly proceeded in Japan, and the disease structure has changed drastically. For this reason, one of the

important issues in education, research and social activities of public health is lifestyle diseases. We are conducting research by

combining epidemiological analysis and experimental analysis.

We are actively pursuing collaborations with universities, research institutes and companies both in Japan and overseas.

From Yamaguchi Prefecture, we aim to develop new therapies and disease prevention.
