Education and research in the division of biomedical and engineering technology

: The department of Laboratory Science in the Faculty of Medicine at Kyoto University is committed to the development of medicine and medical care for the 21st century. We consider it our mission to contribute to the well being of the entire human race, and we seek students who wish to uphold these ideals. The general field of our Laboratory Medicine may be divided into three major categories; namely, basic and clinical laboratory medicine, biomedical and engineering technology, and medical care for patients and health. Health care relates to bolstering human health from a broad global perspective that encompasses the aspects of environment, health and welfare, and disease prevention.
