Our gene therapies provide patients with preventive healthcare
Tuberculosis and pneumonia were once the leading cause of death in Japan. As Japanese life expectancy and the standard of living rose in the decades of post-war Japan, the incidence of various cancers also rose, with cancer becoming the leading cause of death in 1981. Today, cancer deaths account for approximately 30% of all deaths in Japan. Preventing cancer is therefore essential for maintaining quality of life, which is why HIC Clinic remains committed to providing gene therapy services for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Recent years have seen unprecedented events in the field of healthcare, including the global spread of infectious diseases. To prepare for extraordinary circumstances such as these, HIC Clinic has been optimizing gene therapy technologies to provide patients with effective preventive treatments.
Now, with more than 30 years of research in gene therapy technologies, HIC Clinic has the ability to make significant contributions to the prevention of cancer and infectious diseases such as viral pneumonia across a broad range of populations.

Our Research Facility
A medical clinic with an affiliated genetic research facility
Our research institute is actively engaged in genetic studies in the treatment and prevention of cancer, as well as in the control of infectious disease. In a dedicated sterile laboratory, our scientists extract DNA from each patient’s blood and/or cell samples and analyze the genes relevant to their clinical conditions. This allows us to tailor drugs to their specific symptoms and genetic profiles.
We also freeze patients’ donor cells such as natural killer (NK) cells and store them in liquid nitrogen at -196°C—making it easy to reproduce cell-based therapies for cancer patients in need.
