Tokyo Medical and Dental University is part of Japan's national university system. Tokyo Medical and Dental University (not to be confused with Tokyo Medical University or Tokyo Dental College) offers baccalaureate and graduate degrees in medicine, dentistry, and related fields.
History
The university is originally rooted in Eiraku Hospital which was associated with Tokyo Medical License Exam in 1899 . The university was founded under the title of Tokyo National School of Dentistry as the first national school of dentistry in Japan on October 12, 1928. The school received university status in 1944 as Tokyo Medical and Dental College. It was renamed to Tokyo Medical and Dental University in 1946. Separate Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Dentistry were established in 1951, along with a research institute dedicated to materials, which was later expanded to the current Institute of Biomaterials and Bioengineering. In 2000, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences replaced the former Graduate School. In accordance with the National University Corporation law, the school became a National University Corporation in 2004.

Academic Policy
From the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st, the entire genome sequences of various organism species were decoded. In Japan which is becoming unique as a country with a low birthrate and large elderly population post-genome research stemming from the decoded genome information and a better understanding of phenomena such as molecular structures, together with the development of the technology to control them, are expected to lower the cost burden on society as well as contribute to a higher quality of life through materialization of a healthy elderly society devoid of diseases and in which revolutionary therapies and medicines are developed and the burden on the environment is reduced. The 21st century is becoming a century of life science. Now that academic fields and social and industrial structures are changing, it is necessary to promote practical research in fusing the interdisciplinary fields related to complex disease research with leading-edge life science, and to foster human resources who have the managerial ability to realize innovations based on life science analysis and the ability to resolve practical problems. The aim of this PhD program is to nurture such people.
