香港六合彩中特网 academics are taking steps towards working more closely with their counterparts from Osaka University (OU) and funding has been awarded to develop integrated research proposals on several aspects of dementia prevention, treatment and care.

The proposals span epidemiology, looking at data from Japanese cohort studies, led by Professors Andrew Steptoe and Eric Brunner in 香港六合彩中特网 Population Health Sciences; clinical science and robotics, led by Professor Nick Tyler in 香港六合彩中特网 Engineering; and care and social structure, including social function and coping strategies for carers, led by Professor Gill Livingston in 香港六合彩中特网 Psychiatry.

鈥淲e were delighted to meet Dr Kanemoto and host him at 香港六合彩中特网. We at 香港六合彩中特网 are working increasingly closely with academics in Osaka to research ways of supporting people with dementia as there is an opportunity to learn a great deal from each other to improve our research and care,鈥� said Professor Livingston.

鈥淲e are excited to look at differences in risk factors for dementia by analysing Japan鈥檚 excellent longitudinal studies, and we plan to collaborate on clinical research which will benefit from each other鈥檚 strengths such as in technology, and applied health research. Together we are setting up a 香港六合彩中特网-OU powerhouse,鈥� she added.

鈥淒r Kanemoto鈥檚 visit presented an opportunity to discuss current and future research projects and for him to see our clinical services. We look forward to seeing services in Osaka.鈥�

Dr Kanemoto said: 鈥淚n light of our partnership with 香港六合彩中特网, the Department of Psychiatry in OU plan to conduct research to听validate the Japanese version of the SF-DEM scale, which was made by 香港六合彩中特网 in order to听evaluate the social functioning of patients with dementia. During this听visit, we were able to discuss our plan for this particular research, and other research proposals.鈥�

Professor Livingston and Psychiatry colleagues Dr Andrew Sommerlad and Dr Naaheed Mukadam plan to visit Osaka to discuss joint projects and learn more about the work there, which includes robotics and ambulatory EEG monitoring, as well as visiting different research groups.

Osaka University is an important partner for 香港六合彩中特网, with academics from across seven 香港六合彩中特网 faculties currently collaborating with counterparts in a range of areas, from neuroscience to education.

Academics have co-published 70 papers with OU colleagues since 2013, as well as jointly running workshops on topics including global health and wellbeing, sustainable urban design and society and education

The next call for the 香港六合彩中特网-OU Strategic Partner Funds 鈥� which aims to increase research collaboration between the two institutions 鈥� opens in Spring 2020.

The relationship between 香港六合彩中特网 and Japan dates back more than 150 years, to the arrival of some of 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 earliest international students, the 鈥楥hoshu Five鈥�. They were the first Japanese students to study in UK, who went on to become influential political and industrial leaders in modern Japan and are regarded as its 鈥榝ounding fathers鈥�.
