Gunma University continues to function upon a base that has been born from this history and the various traditions that have evolved within leading us to where we nd ourselves today. In March 2011, the Gunma University Hospital became the rst institution of its kind in Japan to establish and utilize a heavy ion therapy facility, and since June of the same year, it has been carrying out state-of-the-art medical care by initiating full-edged heavy ion cancer treatments. rough the management and support of this epoch-making therapeutic device, the School of Medicine has been turning out approximately 10% of the nation’s radiotherapists. Furthermore, Institute for Molecular and Cellular Regulation and the Graduate School of Medicine are currently undergoing a cooperative management program with Akita University called the Global COE Program, and the “Signal Transduction in the Regulatory System and Its Disorders” is carrying out advanced research in the eld of thyroid disorders among patients with iodine deciencies, a problem that is relatively common in Gunma Prefecture, as a tradition of endocrinological research has begun to ower.
