We have established and run Endowed Chairs that make effective use of donations from private organizations.
Endowed Chairs make effective use of donations received from the private sector, etc. to promote and enhance education and research at the university. In doing so, the goal is to go about ensuring speedy responses to the requirements of society and changes in conditions when it comes to the realm of academics, and at the same time contribute to the diversification of education and research frameworks.
Clinical Research Medicine Course
Evidence-based medical care is important for providing better medical care. However, in actual clinical practice, there is not always a lot of evidence that guarantees quality. In addition, scandals have recently continued due to lack of knowledge about clinical research. In February 2012, we established the Teikyo Academic Research Center (TARC) with the aim of supporting clinical research from the early stages, and started activities related to clinical research support. This course is set up as a course of the School of Medicine that fully supports TARC for the purpose of supporting clinical research from an academic point of view and returning the results to society. As a result, TARC can receive supports from many industries.
Data mining from electronic medical records for the purpose of confirming clinical hypotheses, etc.
Systematization of practical efforts currently being carried out at TARC regarding the work content required for a series of clinical studies
Research on the ideal way of clinical research to improve the efficiency and quality of clinical research
Education on how to proceed with clinical research based on GCP to acquire clinical research ethics and promote clinical research
AMR Fungal Disease Management Research Course in a Rehabilitation Environment
As the aging of the population progresses, the number of people receiving nursing care and long-term care is increasing year by year. Rehabilitators are vulnerable to health hazards from environmental fungi and indigenous fungi .Therefore, appropriate fungal disease management is required. Similarly, appropriate management is required for care providers who are always in contact with the care recipient. We hope that the research in this endowed course will advance the analysis of the current state of fungal-related health disorders and contribute to the establishment of an appropriate fungal disease management methodology.

Social welfare corporation Hirakata nursery school
Main course contents
The fungal disease in the medical staff and the nursery teacher in the nursery facility is analyzed from the relationship between the environment, the host, and the parasite.
We will conduct research that enables a series of management (evaluation, prevention, diagnosis, treatment) necessary in this environment.
Theranostics course
Minimally invasive medical technologies are in demand for cancer and brain disease treatment. The Department of Theranostics is conducting basic research on diagnosis and treatment (theranostics) by combining ultrasound with ultrasound using an independently developed ultrasound-responsive bubble (TB). BUS-DDS, which utilizes oscillations induced when ultrasound is irradiated onto a TB, can temporarily open blood vessel walls in target tissues to enhance drug distribution. We aim to commercialize this system. Furthermore, we are collaborating with Ryusendo Co., Ltd. to investigate the further effects of undenatured type II collagen on arthritis.

Pharmacist Lifelong Education Course
In order to provide patients with comprehensive medical care, it is important for pharmacists at hospitals and pharmacies to share information through "drug-drug collaboration." Good collaboration between the two parties not only ensures the safety of the medications taken by patients, but also effectively manages their condition, leading to improved quality of life. However, while its importance is emphasized, the reality is that it is not functioning satisfactorily. This course will begin activities with the aim of promoting collaboration between Teikyo University Hospital and local pharmacies, and will provide lifelong education and training and research that incorporates practical experience.
Establishing an advanced pharmacy management system for pharmacists in hospitals and pharmacies to strengthen cooperation and improve quality By sharing information with pharmacists, we will deepen cooperation and play an important role in the care of patients including after hospitalization and discharge.
Training of pharmacists who can meet diversified medical and social needs by holding workshops and practical training on a regular basis Prescription analysis for each disease and on-the-job training at hospitals utilizing multidisciplinary collaboration at university hospitals to acquire communication skills, including safe use of medicines
Research on promoting proper use of medicines for seamless medicine cooperation Exploring various problems related to drug-drug collaboration and promoting education and research in collaboration between hospitals and pharmacists
Silkworm pharmacy course
Silkworm is an industrial insect whose lineage and breeding method have been established in the long history of sericulture in Japan. In addition to silk production, silkworm has been used as a recombinant protein production plant. This course proposes silkworm as an alternative to experimental animals such as mice in drug development, and has been independently developed by the Medical and Fungal Research Center of our university. The purpose is to further expand this field and establish it as a new academic field. Silkworm is effective not only for pharmaceutical products but also for evaluation of food seeds, and it is possible to search for foodstuffs such as lactic acid bacteria that promote innate immunity. In this course, we aim to develop not only pharmaceutical products but also food seeds.

Main course contents
Research on the search for therapeutic agents for infectious diseases using the silkworm infection model Using the silkworm infection model, we will carry out exploratory studies from natural products such as culture supernatants of soil bacteria, further purify candidate compounds showing therapeutic efficacy, determine the structure, and confirm their efficacy in mice.
Study on the mechanism of individual death of silkworm based on excessive activation of innate immunity To understand the mechanism of the cytokine storm of silkworm at the molecular level, and to search for, purify, and determine the structure of therapeutic substances.
Exploratory research on food seeds using silkworm Use silkworm to conduct exploratory research on food seeds that promote innate immunity
