Institute of Medical Science (Japan) explained
The Institute of Medical Science (Tōkyō-daigaku Ikagaku Kenkyūjo 東京大学医科学研究所) is an ancillary establishment of Tokyo University. It succeeded established in 1892 and is the foremost institute for medical and bioscience research in Japan.
A research hospital is attached to the institute. The former Institute of Public Health was located on the site.
History
- 1892: Dainihon Shiritu Eiseikai Fuzoku Densenbyo Kenkyujyo (Empire of Japan Private Sanitation Meeting Attachment Institute of Infectious Diseases) was established.
- 1899: It became the National Institute of Infectious Diseases under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior.
- 1914: The institute entered under the management of the Ministry of Education).
- 1916: It becomes an ancillary establishment of Tokyo Imperial University.
- 1967: Densenbyo Kenkyujyo (Institute of Infectious Diseases) was reorganized, then, Ikagaku Kenkyu-jyo (Institute of Medical Science) was established.
