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 the Institute of Infectious Diseases (伝染病研究所, Densenbyō Kenkyūjo) 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
[edit]- 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.
