Overview

1967 Third Department of Internal Medicine newly established as a medical department.

1968 Third Department of Internal Medicine specializing in gastroenterology established.

2000 Divided into two departments, the Department of Hepatology and the Department of Gastroenterology at Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine, which conduct collaborative research.

The Department of Gastroenterology covers the entire digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. The digestive tract takes in food, conducts digestion, absorption, and excretion, and is an organ that plays an important role in maintaining life.

In addition, the digestive tract is in direct contact with the external environment, and is an organ with a developed immune system. In recent years, bacteria living in the digestive tract have been found to be related to various diseases.

We are working to elucidate the pathology of diseases of the digestive tract and to develop new treatment methods. In particular, we hope to make a contribution to the health of mankind by elucidating the defensive mechanisms of the gastrointestinal mucosa, elucidating the pathology of gastroesophageal reflux disease, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and inflammatory bowel disease, treating gastrointestinal cancer, and analyzing the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer.
