About us

Our research focuses on aging epidemiology, with an emphasis on understanding longevity, preventive strategies for disease and disability, and the management of age-related health issues in older populations.

We welcome collaborations with researchers having diverse backgrounds.

Longevity and Healthy Longevity

We investigate the determinants of longevity and healthy aging. Current research projects include comparing older adults’ health and healthcare between Japan and Sweden.

Issues in Older Adults, Especially Dementia

We investigate critical health related challenges that affect quality of life and independence in the older population. Our research addresses both chronic conditions such as dementia and musculoskeletal pain and its impact on disability and cognitive function, as well as dementia-related issues including getting lost and wandering behavior.

Join our team

We are looking for doctoral students who are interested in the epidemiology and/or demography of population aging. We also welcome inquiries from early-career researchers who are considering applying for a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship with our group as the host. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, whether in public health, social sciences, statistics, clinical practice, or other fields.

Depending on the availability of research funding, such as external grants, we may also be able to employ postdoctoral researchers, and to employ doctoral students as research assistants (RAs) in addition to the support from the LEAP Program (see below). If you are interested, please feel free to contact us at any time.

JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship from abroad

This program allows researchers from abroad to stay in Japan, and then conduct research at Japanese institutions. We would be pleased to host fellows under this program. If you are interested in joining our group through this fellowship, please contact Shunsuke Murata.

It provides comprehensive support, including:

Key Features:
- Monthly living allowance
- Research activity allowance
- International travel expenses
- Overseas travel insurance etc

For detailed information about eligibility, application procedures, and timeline, please visit:

JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship

JSPS also offers short-term programs.

Doctoral students

Doctoral students enroll in the Graduate School of Dentistry, Tohoku University. Several funding routes are available for international students:

Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship covers tuition, a monthly stipend, and round-trip travel to Japan. You can apply through the Japanese embassy in your country or through university recommendation. Details are available on the webpage below.

MEXT Scholarship (Study in Japan)

Tohoku University LEAP Program is a comprehensive support package for doctoral students, including a research stipend and competitive research funds. Students who join one of Tohoku University’s degree programs, such as the Institute for Interdisciplinary Advanced Research and Education, may receive additional support. We are happy to support your applications to these programs. Details are available on the webpage below.
