The Advanced Research Center for Innovations in Next-Generation Medicine (INGEM) was established in 2017 as the hub for next-generation medicine to bring together the university\u2019s preeminent research capabilities in fields such as information science, basic life sciences, and genomic medicine as the core subject.
\nINGEM will promote;<\/p>\n

– Research based on data science including artificial intelligence to utilize genomic\/omics information and other biological information as well as clinical information.
\n– Research to unravel the relationship among genetic factors, environmental factors, and diseases.
\n– Human resource development in these fields.
\nThrough these efforts, INGEM aims to contribute to the realization of next-generation medicine based on systems of personalized medicine and prevention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
