 近畿大学ライフサイエンス研究所は1974年に大阪狭山キャンパスに設立され、以来、生命現象の科学的解明と人類の健康及び福祉の増進に寄与してきました。先進的な分析機器の活用により、特にがん関連遺伝子の網羅的解析を基盤とした個別化医療とプレシジョン医療の推進に貢献しています。また、2022年には難治性神経疾患の治療法開発を担う新たな研究室を設置しました。医学研究の現状は、日本の研究力の低下、大学医学部の研究者や若い医師の不足、次代を担う若手研究者の研究時間の不足など、多くの課題に直面しています。医師の働き方改革が進む中、研究活動の質と量を維持・向上させるためには、新しい組織の構築やライフサイエンス研究所を含む各部門の更なる有機的な連携が求められています。そうした挑戦的な環境の中、今年度は多くの質の高い研究成果が発表されました。これは、基礎研究および臨床研究を行う研究者と技術職員の献身的な努力の賜物であり、彼らの奮闘に深い敬意を表します。今後も、近畿大学ライフサイエンス研究所では、研究の発展のために、所員一同が一層の努力を続けていく所存です。
