次世代育成 Graduate School Program
Educational Program for Advanced Research in Infectious Diseases and AIDS
The history of mankind has been one of struggle against infectious diseases. The impact of infectious disease research on the increase in life expectancy in developed countries has been immeasurable. This includes the development of vaccines against various infectious diseases, antibiotics against bacterial infections, and drugs to treat chronic viral infections, that were previously considered untreatable. These research achievements have been built upon the body of knowledge generated by numerous basic studies on the fundamental properties and life cycles of pathogens.
This comprehensive course will equip basic medical researchers and healthcare professionals with a thorough understanding of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases caused by various pathogenic microorganisms. It features an array of unique programs, including lectures that delve into the fundamental aspects of infectious diseases from the perspectives of basic medicine, clinical medicine, and social medicine. Students will also acquire essential medical research methods and receive clinical training at the National Center for Global Health or Medicine or Kumamoto University Hospital. Cross-laboratory seminars and international symposia provide opportunities for research presentations and discussions, and collaborative research projects at overseas institutions will deepen students’ knowledge and skills. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be well-prepared to work as independent researchers and healthcare professionals at advanced research institutions, medical facilities, and international organizations in Japan and around the world.
感染症およびエイズの克服を目指した先端研究者育成コース
人類の歴史は感染症との闘いの歴史であった。今日の先進国における寿命の延長に果たしてきた感染症研究の貢献は計り知れない。中でも、様々な感染症に対するワクチンの開発、細菌感染に対する抗生物質の開発、さらに治療困難とされてきた慢性ウイルス感染症に対する治療薬の開発は社会に大きなインパクトを与えてきた。これらの研究成果は、病原体の基本的な性質や生活環についての多くの基礎研究に基づいてなされてきたものである。本コースでは、さまざまな病原微生物による感染症およびHIV感染症/AIDSに関する基礎医学研究者、医療従事者を育成する。基礎医学、臨床医学、社会医学に根差した感染症に関する広い知識を得る講義、基礎医学実験方法の習得、国立国際医療センターもしくは熊本大学病院での臨床教育、研究室横断セミナーおよび国際シンポジウムでの研究発表と議論、海外の研究機関での共同研究の実施など多くの特徴的なプログラムを取り入れ、感染症に関する体系的な教育を提供する。修了後は、国内外の先端研究機関、医療機関、国際機関等において、専門的な知識と技量を持ち自立した研究者、医療従事者として活躍できる。

WYIS (Weekly Young Investigator Seminar)
The WYIS program aims to foster scientific communication among young scientists and students and broaden their research horizons through dynamic engagement in discussion.
Conducted in weekly basis, the program provides young investigators and students with an opportunity to develop their English presentation skills and receive feedback on their work. The WYIS series is designed to provide a supportive and friendly environment where young scientists can engage in scientific discussions and learn from one another as well as networking with their peers and senior colleagues, which can be invaluable in building their careers. Moreover, the open-mindedness approach adopted in the WYIS programs allows for the possibility of not only presenting data but also proposing novel research ideas through freely expression of thoughts without restrictions.
Kumamoto AIDS Seminar
The Kumamoto AIDS Seminar is part of the graduate school program for infectious diseases and AIDS. Conducted annually, the seminar brings together a diverse group of researchers from all over the world to share their latest findings and insights in the field of HIV/IDS and other infectious diseases. The seminar provides a unique opportunity for young researcher and students to learn from and interact with leading experts in their field, expanding their knowledge and building valuable connections for their future careers. The seminar is also an important platform for facilitating international collaborations and recruiting graduate students. The objective of the seminar is to inspire new thinking, spark innovative solutions and propel progress in order to stay ahead of the curve in the field of scientific research on infectious diseases.
