The Course in Human Resource Development for Regenerative Medicine/Clinical Research will be built upon the technology in oral mucosa cell culture currently employed at our facility, and aims at the education based on translational research to cure extra-oral wounds by utilizing progenitor/stem cells in the oral cavity.
With frequent participation in international workshops (Externship Program), the course aims to foster personnel capable of serving as coordinators and managers for clinical trials.
In the area of research, by characterizing the oral mucosa cells and the cell behaviors in an in vivo condition, the course purposes to gain approval for Phase I or Phase II of this clinical trial for future clinical applications of extra-oral wound care.
Furthermore, real time and non-invasive analyses of cultured cells and the devices will be developed in parallel with identifying and isolating oral mucosa stem cells to design more efficient wound healing technique.
