The Atomic Bomb Disease Institute ”Department of Pathology“ was established.
Mr. Issei Nishimori assumed the position of the first professor.
When he was a third-year student at the Nagasaki University medical department and was conducting clinical training in the attached hospital, he was exposed to atomic bomb.
The "Blood-stained white robe" at that time has been exhibited in the Atomic Bomb Disease Institute No. 2 hall, the Atomic Bomb Data Room still now.
The subjects of research under his teaching tenure were 1) high blood pressure and vascular lesion 2) kidney disease and 3) atomic bomb disease, and he accomplished much pathology epidemiological precious achievements carrying out arrangement collection Nagasaki A-bomb survivors' dissection and the biopsy tissue sample. |

The Atomic Bomb Disease Data Center was established.
Its purpose was collection, preservation and use of scientific materials, and it was also an acceptance of huge scientific data, the pathology specimen and living specimen which were requisitioned by the U.S. Forces after the war and then were returned to Japan from The U.S Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP). |
| Showa 49 (1974) |
The Atomic Bomb Disease Data Center was renamed the Scientific Data Center for the Atomic Bomb Disaster.
Business was started by two departments of a documentary search part and a pathologic part. Professor Nishimori served concurrently as a chief of the pathologic department, and the Atomic Bomb Disease Institute ”Department of Tumor and Diagnostic Pathology” and the Scientific Data Center for the Atomic Bomb Disaster (the present the Tissue and Histopathology Section) are doing jointly pathology research using an A-bomb survivors’ specimen since then.

The Atomic Bomb Disease Institute was reorganized.
The Scientific Data Center for the Atomic Bomb Disaster was unified and ”Department of International Health Radiation Research” and “Division of Scientific Date Registry” were established newly in addition to two main unit “Radiation Effect Research Unit (four department)” and “Molecule Medicine Unit (four department)”,
The official name of Genken Byouri became Radiation Life Science Unit “Department of Molecular Medicine”. |
| Heisei 14 (2002) |
The Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences was established.
It belongs to a radiation medical science major department as a graduate school. |
| Heisei 16(2004) |
