Our department focuses on the areas of endocrine disorders and metabolic bone diseases. Our research goal is elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of these disorders as well as development of molecular-targeted therapy against these diseases by using translational and clinical research methods. We have the following research project．
- Analysis molecular mechanisms and development of newly therapeutic methods for metabolic bone diseases．
- Elucidation of the pathological interplay between metabolic syndrome/diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis．
- Clarification of the pathophysiology of bone fragility depends on dysfunction of endocrine system and/or abnormal calcium/phosphate metabolism.
