Medical Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A medical engineering lab that develops technologies for healthcare.
AboutAbout the lab
Developing medical technologies, from diagnosis to surgery.
The Medical Engineering Lab develops technologies used in medicine, such as drug delivery systems, diagnostic systems, and surgical robots.
Its research themes include drug delivery for cancer and inflammatory diseases, diagnosis using biomarkers, and ultrasensitive imaging.
As industry-academia collaborative research, Prof. Murata also works on supporting medical device development by local companies, in cooperation with government agencies.
Key terms
- Drug delivery system
- A system for delivering a drug to the place in the body where it is needed. Also known by the initials DDS
- Biomarker
- A substance in the body that serves as an indicator for checking whether a disease is present or what condition it is in
- Hyperspectral camera
- A camera that obtains spectral information (the intensity at each wavelength of light) for each location in an image
ResearchResearch themes
This lab develops technologies for healthcare, including drug delivery systems, molecular imaging for diagnosis, biomarker-based diagnosis, and surgical robots. The research fields listed are biomaterials science, biomedical engineering, medical systems, and analytical chemistry.
*Illustrative imageDiagnosis Using Biomarkers
