Research Field

Behavioral Systems Epidemiology Laboratory comprehensively evaluates the relevance of diseases or health conditions according to the environment and genetic factors, ultimately aiming to build a holistic model for disease prevention. We are applying epidemiologic, statistical, and genetic research methodologies by collecting a wide range of data from large-scale research participants through questionnaires and various methods, measuring omics biomarkers, and evaluating the health status of subjects with objective data.

The main research areas are 1) measurement of physical activity within the population and assessment of health impact, 2) assessment of the interaction of environmental-genetic factors by biomarkers, including genomes, and 3) assessment of the health impact of taking drugs. We apply a methodology that can simultaneously consider complex interrelationships and dynamic results evaluated by repeated measures.
