Strategic Objective
Elucidation and regulation in the dynamic maintenance and transfiguration of homeostasis in living body
Research Supervisor
Masato Kasuga(Honorary President, National Center for Global health and Medicine)
Overview
We call for research proposals that purport to address the living body as a mechanism of homeostasis, thus helping elucidate the mechanisms involved in the maintenance and transfiguration of homeostasis and by extension the mechanisms involved in the onset of aging and lifestyle-related diseases. Through these lines of research, we aspire not only to provide an integrated understanding of life process at work, but also to promote the development of diagnostic/therapeutic modalities that go beyond symptomatic approaches based on this integrated understanding of life processes, but also to help optimize healthcare for individual patients according to their age and life stage.
Research endeavors of particular interest include the following perspectives:
1) the inter-organ network of functions as an integrated process;
2) changes over time in the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of homeostasis; and
3) Disruption of the mechanisms involved in homeostasis as a cause of diseases
We therefore call for research themes that purport to address the living body as a unified process in a multidisciplinary manner that goes beyond the frameworks of established specialties such as neurology, immunology, endocrinology and hematology.
