Support the development of medical care As a base for joint research beyond clinical departments
Teikyo Academic Research Center is an organization centered on the School of Medicine of Teikyo University. It is a base for joint research beyond research groups and clinical departments, and provides widespread support centered on clinical research at our university.
With the main missions of "support for clinical research" and "education related to clinical research," we will accumulate know-how through research support. We aim to improve the quality of clinical research at Teikyo University through education and support.
Head of Center Professor Tamio Teramoto
It goes without saying that the results of clinical research are necessary in society to provide better medical care. However, we recognize that there is a lack of evidence from Japan, and in fact, that there is very little of it. To overcome this situation, I believe that university research institutions should make more effective use of the results of their own clinical research. With the consolidation of resources, such as the establishment of Graduate School of Public Health and the relocation of the School of Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences to Itabashi Campus, Teikyo Academic Research Center (TARC) to tackle clinical research on a university-wide basis. TARC is an official organization that supports clinical research by organically linking with external organizations as well as using internal resources. It provides various support required for carrying out clinical research, including biostatistical consulting on what research design should be used to verify clinical hypotheses. Our university will assist researchers who aspire to conduct clinical research and disseminate evidence that contributes to better medical care to the world.
It was established in February 2012 to bring together the university's resources and engage in clinical research across the university. We carry out research and education related to clinical research from a global perspective in order to embody the ``Healthy Hospital,'' a circle of security and trust created by patients, medical professionals, and society, which is the basic philosophy of Teikyo University Hospital. Through the development of new pharmaceuticals, medical devices, testing methods, diagnostic methods, and treatments, we will contribute broadly to society through advances in medicine, healthcare, and health. Specifically, from an academia's perspective, we aim to ``promote university-led clinical research'', ``dissemination of evidence to local communities'', and ``globally deploy practical EBM'', with the aim of serving as a model case in Japan. We aim to build a center that practices world-standard research and education.
