Our research themes
At the sleep laboratory, the work for sleep medicine and sleep medical treatment is set as the center of fundamental activity. Moreover, we are also tackling energetically clinical activity in industrial hygiene and school mental health in Osaka University.
The consulting division of sleep medicine is established 2 days per week at the department of psychiatry in the Osaka University Hospital. Be related with sleep medicine, we have recommended acquiring the qualification of sleep specialists certified by the Japanese Society of Sleep Research. Currently, four sleep specialists are on the register in our laboratory.
As of now, it is going to greet the turning point of the sleep medicine in the Osaka University Hospital, followed on establishment of the sleep medical center from April 1, 2006. Some specialties, such as psychiatry, otolaryngology, and pediatrics, have so far performed sleep medical consultation individually. We plan to unite sleep medical consultation organically and to make it the center which can offer efficient and high quality sleep medical treatment. On a mid- and long-term basis, the medical consultation, the education, the research, and the grant about sleep will become comprehensive in our sleep medical center, and in Japan, it will certainly serve as an institution of a core.
The study meeting is held from 18:30 p.m. on Thursday every week in the laboratory. Please come to participate freely.
