Furthermore, we will accelerate the application of epidemiology to clinical observational epidemiological research and intervention research, and contribute to the development of human resources capable of promoting evidence-based decision making and the creation of new industries through medical-agricultural collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-ehi-or-button-Z1BE46f wp-block-lazyblock-ehi-or-button\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/153e1e60d27f3160c55bbd64f28168be.pdf\" class=\"btn btn-pdf auto  btn-blank\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"lazyblock-ehi-or-button-Z1BE46f\">\r\n\r\n    \r\n    <span>Click here for an overview (PDF file 328KB)<\/span>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2ca61a1dc57b5685d76696529461e5ea-750x422-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2ca61a1dc57b5685d76696529461e5ea-750x422-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4278\" width=\"792\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2ca61a1dc57b5685d76696529461e5ea-750x422-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2ca61a1dc57b5685d76696529461e5ea-750x422-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Conceptual Diagram of the Aioi University Cohort Study<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ad2a8a65e5fd48da7424057543155a1e-750x422-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ad2a8a65e5fd48da7424057543155a1e-750x422-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4281\" width=\"794\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ad2a8a65e5fd48da7424057543155a1e-750x422-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.ehime-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ad2a8a65e5fd48da7424057543155a1e-750x422-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Conceptual diagram of the research unit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"lazyblock-accordion-Z1re0qN wp-block-lazyblock-accordion\">    \r\n        <div class=\"toggle-pc according-single   \" id=\"lazyblock-accordion-Z1re0qN\">\r\n    <div class=\"page-single-title toggle-hd \">\r\n            <span class=\"color-1 fs-26 ff-heisei fw-bold fs-sm-16\">Certified in fiscal year 2008<\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"col-inner toggle-cont pt-35 \">\r\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advanced Nano-Bioanalysis Research Unit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3000The objective of this research unit is to develop advanced bioanalytical techniques for highly selective and sensitive detection of target causative agents by combining bioanalysis using nanoparticles and spectroscopic analysis.
