The Laboratory of Cell Pathobiology is one of the six clinical laboratories in the Department of Veterinary Medicine of Osaka Prefecture University. It is in charge of the Department of Internal Medicine at the Veterinary Medical Center. At this center, internal medicine departments do not provide subdivided (specialized course) treatment, so we examine diseases in all fields of internal medicine, with a particular focus on hematology, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and oncology.

Furthermore, we are conducting daily research to develop new treatments for animal diseases that cannot be cured by current veterinary medicine. Specifically, it includes cancer treatment using immunotherapy and regenerative medicine using iPS cells. Refer to the “Research” page for details.

Various people, including visiting researchers, graduate students, and international students, belong to the laboratory and actively conduct research.

Mr. Alam (Bangladesh) and Ms. Nadeka (Sri Lanka), foreign students who had belonged to the doctoral program in our graduate school, were awarded degrees (Doctor of Philosophy) and returned to their countries.
The number of foreign students will decrease and the laboratory will be lonely, but I wish you success in each country.

Post docs and PhD students are welcome to carry out cutting edge research !! Informal inquiries can be made at any time of the year to Prof Sugiura   or Associate Prof Hatoya
