研究テーマ
We have been focusing on molecular epidemiology and the development of a rapid diagnostic system to detect bacterial and viral pathogens that cause diarrhea and sepsis in developing countries.

Diarrheal diseases are a major cause of childhood death in the developing world, killing nearly 1 million children under age 5 each year, while sepsis (severe infection) is the third most common cause of death in newborns, with around 500,000 newborn deaths annually. Health systems must develop a comprehensive approach to prevent and treating bacterial and viral infection in newborns and young children. Our goal is to develop a rapid diagnostic system and molecular typing to explore the distribution of pathogen, which will help to control the outbreak of diseases and provide appropriate treatment and facilitates the opportunity for future generation of research.
