The purpose of forensic medicine is to contribute to the protection of the individual and the safety of society by providing scientific and impartial judgment in cases involving the law in medicine. The activities of forensic medicine include education, research, and practice, and the goal is to contribute to people and society through these activities. As our practical activities, we are in charge of some forensic autopsies in the 23 wards of Tokyo, contributing to the early resolution of accidents and other problems and social safety.
The student education focuses on issues such as invasion of the human body by trauma and poisoning, response to human death, and the relationship between medicine and law, with the learning goal of being able to make accurate medical judgments about legal matters in medicine. In addition to lectures and practical training, seminars and paper abstracts are open to the public both on and off campus. We also conduct summer field trips for medical students and residents from all over the country.
We are conducting research on brain injury due to head trauma by finding important issues in forensic practice and using basic experimental methods and verifying them in animal experiments and other methods. We conduct research on diagnostic methods and pathological analysis of traumatic brain injury.
In addition, prevention of traffic accidents and accidents caused by falls and tumbles is necessary for the safety and security of society. We analyze accidents in the elderly, the relationship between existing and latent diseases and accidents, and investigate and analyze complications caused by accidents. We are also analyzing the damage caused by autopsy imaging at the time of death (autopsy imaging Ai).
Furthermore, we are conducting research on the qualitative and quantitative determination of causative agents of acute poisoning using gas chromatograph-mass spectrometers, high performance liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometers, and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometers, and on methods for analyzing DNA polymorphisms for personal identification.
