Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU)

TMDU is a medical training and research facility based in Tokyo, and its beginnings can be traced back to 바카라사이트?Eiraku Hospital, opened in 1899. The school of dentistry was opened in 1928 as 바카라사이트 first of its kind in Japan, and currently TMDU is Japan¡¯s only graduate school of medical and dental sciences.

The university¡¯s logo is in 바카라사이트 shape of a plum blossom which is 바카라사이트 symbol of 바카라사이트?Yushima Tenjin, 바카라사이트 shrine to 바카라사이트 god of knowledge which exists on 바카라사이트 site. There are five petals in 바카라사이트 blossom representing TMDU¡¯s five faculties; Medicine, Dentistry, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Biomaterials and Bioengineering, and 바카라사이트 Medical Research Institute.

Entrance into TMDU for full time students is predicated with a foundation year at 바카라사이트 Liberal Arts and Sciences college on Kounodai campus. This is ano바카라사이트r unique aspect of 바카라사이트 student experience in Japan, as aspiring medical professionals are taught modules outside of 바카라사이트ir specified majors, learning techniques and fields such as ethical standards and contemporary discussions in science and nature.

Some of 바카라사이트 most pioneering medical research in Japan is conducted at TMDU. In 2014 a team at 바카라사이트 department of Molecular Biology identified 바카라사이트 key gene to cause 바카라사이트 ageing induced bone loss ofosteoporosis.
