Research Aims

 Our clinical studies are based on the population of Aomori prefecture. In Aomori, the incidence of gastric cancer and prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection are higher among Japanese populations. One of major aims of our research aimed is to reduce gastric cancer and H. pylori-related diseases in Aomori.
 Our researchers for hepatic diseases, various immune disorders including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and hematological illness are trying to elucidate their mechanisms of such diseases and to establish new treatment strategies using in vitro experiments.
