Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to develop a regenerative medical system, by using the existing one, for radiation emergency, we attempted to manage the cell processing center to establish a system of a safe and secured iPS cell bank for radiation medicine. By using this iPS cell bank as the central leverage, we developed an education program for radiation emergency medicine, and to put this education program in practice, and to construct a network of regenerative medicine for radiation emergency medicine. We planed the trategies for promoting basic research and clinical research for radiation emergency medicine through international collaboration. Systematic promotion of the establishment of new therapies by comprehensively using cell therapy, cellular repair and regenerative biotechnology through collaboration with the medical experts in various fields such as teaching staff, including those in basic research, and graduate students, post-docs, research coordinators, doctors, nurses, etc.
