What’s PRIMe?
Osaka University’s Premium Research Institute for Human Metaverse Medicine (PRIMe) has a great objective: to establish a ground-breaking scientific field "Human Metaverse Medicine“. This field comprehensively and continuously elucidates the process of disease development. Our goal is to develop personalized prevention methods and curative treatments for diseases.
Coming Soon
PRIMe is creating a new scientific domain, "Human Metaverse Medicine."
To provide a comprehensive understanding of this field, a lecture course titled "Introduction to Human Metaverse Medicine" has been introduced for doctoral candidates starting in the academic year 2023 (AY 2023). This course features a series of relay lectures delivered in English by leading researchers in human metaverse medicine, spanning six months and comprising a total of fifteen lectures. The curriculum encompasses a variety of research areas including Organoid Disease Sciences, Quantitative Systems Biology & Disease Dynamics, Digital Disease Studies & Simulations, and Systems Assessment in Human Metaverse Medicine. Through these lectures, students will gain a deeper insight into the studies of human metaverse medicine.
Osaka University Syllabus
In AY 2024, we launched the Graduate Program for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies "Human Metaverse Medicine." This program mandates that students complete the required course "Introduction to Human Metaverse Medicine" for two credits and select a minimum of five credits from elective courses, culminating in a total of seven credits for certification. The program offers a selection of thirteen elective courses, including a diverse range of subjects such as Medicine, Life Sciences, Biosensing & Biometrics, Bioinformatics, Medical Statistics, and Bioethics related to these fields.
The goal of this program is to develop professional’s adept in integrating human and organoid biomedical sciences with information and mathematical sciences.
These individuals will advance the field of "Human Metaverse Medicine," employing such interdisciplinary research methodologies while addressing ethical, legal, and societal considerations in responsible way.
