Advanced Spintronics Medical Application Engineering Joint Research Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A joint research chair applying spintronic magnetic sensors to medicine.
AboutAbout the lab
Advancing TMR from three perspectives: engineering, medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry.
The lab aims to develop medical applications of magnetic sensors based on tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) elements, known as TMR sensors.
With support from Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Spin Sensing Factory Inc., the lab was established in the Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, on January 1, 2022.
The lab is staffed by faculty members with knowledge of medicine as well as engineering, and conducts research by combining the three perspectives of engineering, medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry.
