We keep proceeding with a goal to promoteresearch and development of ‘therapeutics’and to foster medical personnel capable ofexcelling on the world stage
Dean Takashi Miki, M.D., Ph.D.
Chiba University, Graduate School of Medicine will celebrate its 150th anniversaryof establishment in the year 2024. Although studies on medicine and medical
remedy have existed in our country for a far longer time, the current research andeducational framework for medicine leading up to the present was establishedafter the Meiji Restoration. Our department has its foundation in Kyoritsu Hospitalin 1975, making it one of the leading medical schools in our country with a longhistory.
Over the course of nearly 150 years, our department has produced many outstanding clinical doctors and medical researchers. Reflecting on our department’shistory, its distinctive feature and strength lie in not only limiting the study ofdiseases to a mere understanding of their pathophysiology but also extending itto the creation of their therapeutic theory. Hence, in recent years, our department
has named this academic discipline ‘therapeutics’ and is advancing research andhuman resource development in therapeutics while integrating clinical and basic
research departments under this ‘Pioneering the Therapeutics’ banner.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19) in early 2020
brought about fear, confusion, and societal changes worldwide. While we havefinally reached a point where we can envision the post-COVID era, we cannot still
see the end, and adequate preparation for the next emerging infections is not
yet in place. In light of this, in 2022, the Japan Agency for Medical Research andDevelopment (AMED) initiated the ‘Japan Initiative for World-leading Vaccine
Research and Development Centers’ and our department was selected as one of
the 4 national synergy centers collaborating with the flagship center in the Uni-2Graduate School of Medicine . School of Medicine

versity of Tokyo. As a closely coordinated structure for vaccine development, theResearch Institute of Disaster Medicine (RIDM) has been also established in 2021.
The synergy center in our department will promote vaccine development in tightcooperation with RIDM with an aim to establish a novel vaccination strategy.
COVID-19 pandemic brought to light not only the difficulty in its medical treatment but also the impact of social burden on medical care system in rural areas
with limited medical resources. In response, the Ministry of Education, Culture,Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) aimed to foster research personnel capable of flexibly addressing medical issues ascribed to various social factors andinitiated ‘Development of Human Resource Centers for Medical Professionals in
Post-COVID Era’ in 2022. Our department was selected in this research projectand is advancing research on human resource development to foster medical professionals with strong passion and curiosity on community-based health care.
Furthermore, from April 2024, new restrictions on work-time for medical doctors
will be started. This requires all the faculty members in our department to provide
the undergraduates with the efficient educational programs. In 2023, our department has been selected as one of the 4 adopted universities to complete theprograms supported by MEXT to accomplish the high-quality education for fostering medical professionals skilled in community-based health care. In this project,along with the aim for fostering skilled local medical professionals, there is also acall to enhance the clinical medical research capabilities of our country, which has
seen a recent decline in international competitiveness. Under the leadership of theClinical Research Center in our university hospital, our department is progressingin the development of personnel qualified in clinical medical research and in theimprovement of research infrastructure.
In this way, the mission of the medical department in universities is, in general, topromote medical research, nurture talented physician and researchers, and disseminate prompt, adequate, and high-quality medical treatment. In our department, we hope to steadily advance the study to ‘Pioneer the Therapeutics’ whileinterlocking these three aspects of our mission.

Inohana Campus

The history of Chiba University School of Medicine can be traced backto 1874, when its predecessor was founded as a private hospital throughdonations from the local community. In 1876, it became a prefectural
institution with medical teaching facilities and was formally named theChiba Public Hospital. In 1923, it became the Chiba Medical College andin 1949 was incorporated into the School of Medicine at Chiba University.
Alumni from this school have contributed greatly to the advancement ofmedicine in Japan.
Faculty members of the school belong to the Graduate School of Medicine and the University Hospital. The number of students admitted is 122
per year : 117 students for the School of Medicine, which requires six yearsof attendance, and five students for the four year MD-PhD course, which
demands sufficient ability to complete the basic and clinical medicalcourses.
