北里研究所理事長

た北里研究所は、生命現象の科学的解明にあたるとともに、生命科学および関連分野における有為な研究者、教育者、専門職業人の養成を使命として、教育・研究・医療の各面にわたる活動を続けてまいりました。その根底にあるものは、予防医学の発展に生涯を投じて生命科学の端緒を拓き、実学の志をもって社会に報いる姿勢を貫き通した、創設者・北里柴三郎の開拓者としての不撓不屈の精神です。
私たちは2014年、創立100周年の記念すべき節目を迎えました。生命科学のパイオニアとして、今後も有為な人材を育成し、教育研究の成果を社会に還元することを次代へのビジョンとして改めて明確に掲げるとともに、それを支える４つの方針を打ち出していま
1 北里精神を継承する高邁な志を持す。すなわち、○
2 教育・研究・医療における実学のった人材の輩出、○3 専門的な知見に加え、国際尊重と社会への貢献、○社会を広く見渡すことのできる総合的な視野を兼ね備4 北里の名に誇りを持ち、母えた人材の育成、そして○校を愛する心を育む自校教育の実践です。また、これらを実現するための組織・制度改革や環境整備、社会とのさらなる連携、国際交流なども推し進めます。
北里研究所は今後も、生命科学・医療科学がいっそう重要性を増す次代に向け、その先駆者として学術研究の推進、人材の教育育成、社会貢献に努めてまいります。

Chairman of the Board of Trustees, The Kitasato Institute日本初の私立医学研究機関として1914年に設立され

The Kitasato Institute, Japan’s first private medicalresearch facility, was established in 1914. Together withthe scientific discovery of life phenomena, the Institutetakes as its mission the cultivation of pre eminent
researchers, educators, and other professionals in theLife Sciences and related fields and continues to play anactive role in education, research, and medicine.
Underlying all this is the indomitable spirit of the,Institute s founder, Shibasaburo Kitasato, who devoted
his life to preventive medicine and was a groundbreakerin the study of Life Sciences, never wavering in his efforts
to apply medicine in a practical way to benefit society.
Now approaching our centennial, a landmark moment,
we wish to make it clear as a pioneer in Life Sciences thatour vision for the next generation consists in training
talented people and making available to society theresults of our education and research. To support thiseffort, we have announced four policies: 1 ) the training oflofty-minded personnel who can carry on the Kitasato
spirit; 2 ) an emphasis on applied medicine andcontribution to society in the fields of education, research,and medicine; 3 ) the training of personnel who not only
have specialized knowledge but possess a broad,
integrated view of international society; 4 ) theactualization of Kitasato-style education that fosters pridein the name Kitasato and a love of one’s alma mater.
Moreover, to make this possible, we are moving ahead
with organizational and systemic reforms, infrastructureenhancement, collaboration with society, andinternational exchange.
As a pioneer in the field, and taking into consideration
following generations when Life Sciences and medicine
will be ever more important, the Institute strives to takescientific research to higher levels, to train and educatepersonnel, and to make a contribution to society.

President, Kitasato University 北里大学長

北里大学は、1962年、北里研究所の創立50周年を記念して創設されました。以来半世紀にわたり、生命現象の科学的解明、医療・保健・福祉の向上、生物資源の探索と活用、環境の保全と創造などを目標に教育・研究に努め、現在では国内有数の「生命科学を学ぶ総合大学」へと成長しています。
本学は、学祖・北里柴三郎の教えを「開拓」「報恩」「叡智と実践」「不撓不屈」として建学の精神に反映しています。薬学部、医学部、看護学部、医療衛生学部の医療系学部のほか、獣医学部、海洋生命科学部、理学部があり、さらには７つの大学院と２つの研究所、４つの病院をも結集する他に類を見ない教育機関です。
組織の多様性と総合力を活かしながら、あらゆる生命科学分野をカバーし、学問領域にとらわれない柔軟な教育と問題解決にむけた実践的な研究を行っています。特に「チーム医療教育プログラム」「感染制御の教育・研究」「農医連携の教育・研究」「４病院連携による臨床教育・研究」の４つを重点課題とし、研究分野では、医工連携と知財活用も進め、時代の要請に応えてまいります。
2014年には、相模原キャンパスに高度先進医療や地域医療を担う新北里大学病院が誕生し、十和田キャンパスには獣医学部新校舎が完成しました。教育・研究の深化と、それを支える環境整備に取り組む本学の次代に期待してください。

Kitasato University was founded in 1962 on the occasionof the 50th anniversary of the Kitasato Institute. Since then,for half a century, the University has striven to advance thestudy of life phenomena, medicine, health, and welfare. It has
aimed to advance the discovery and utilization of biologicalresources and the promotion of environmental conservation.
Toward this end, it has focused on education and research,and has now evolved into one of Japan’s leading universities
in the study of Life Sciences.
The University is based on the philosophy of its founder,
Shibasaburo Kitasato: namely, possessing a pioneering
spirit, appreciation and consideration with gratitude in
dealing with others, wisdom and practical skills, and the spiritof unwavering persistence. In addition to a School ofPharmacy, a School of Medicine, a School of Nursing, aSchool of Allied Health Sciences in the School of MedicalSciences, there are also a School of Veterinary Medicine, aSchool of Biosciences, and a School of Science.
Furthermore, there are seven graduate schools, two research
institutes, and four hospitals, producing an educational
environment of unrivaled scope.
Utilizing its diversity and comprehensive approach, theUniversity covers all the Life Sciences and conducts practicalresearch in a flexible approach to problem solving that spans
every academic field. In particular, it places emphasis on thefour important fields of Interprofessional Health Care
Program, Research and Education for Infection Control,
Research and Education in Agromedicine, and Clinical
Education and Research through Inter-hospital Collaboration,
as well as pursuing research in the collaboration between
medicine and engineering and the utilization of intellectualproperties, thus answering the special needs of our times.
In 2014 a new Kitasato University Hospital was establishedon the Sagamihara campus, providing overall state-of-the-art
medical care and cutting-edge regional medical care. At thesame time, a new building for the School of Veterinary
Medicine was completed on the Towada campus. With thecontinued strengthening of both education and research, andthe ongoing enhancement of supporting facilities, the futureof the University looks bright.
