Hayashi-Nagano Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that develops and analyzes medical technologies for less invasive surgical treatment.
AboutAbout the lab
Biomedical engineering that contributes to today's healthcare.
The Hayashi-Nagano Lab develops and analyzes medical technologies for less invasive surgical treatment.
The lab's slogan is "biomedical engineering that contributes to today's healthcare."
Every study is characterized either by validation experiments using living animals, from small to large species, or by analyses based on clinical data and specimens.
The lab also conducts joint research with departments of Chiba University Hospital, such as the pathology and operating room departments.
Key terms
- Liposome
- A small sac made of phospholipids, used to enclose a drug and carry it to a target site in the body.
- Laparoscopic surgery
- Surgery performed by making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a thin camera and instruments.
- Drug delivery system
- A mechanism or technology for efficiently delivering a drug to the place in the body where it is needed.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on technologies for less invasive surgical treatment from both the development and the analysis sides. Its research is characterized by validation experiments using living animals and by analyses based on clinical data and specimens.
*Illustrative imageNear-Infrared Light-Responsive Liposomes and Cancer Immunotherapy
Liposomes containing a near-infrared fluorescent dye are known to generate heat and reactive oxygen species when irradiated with near-infrared light. The lab is developing drug delivery systems that can deliver immunotherapy to cancer-metastasized lymph nodes, for example by encapsulating immune-activating substances.
*Illustrative imageInvestigating Bacterial Contamination in Hospital Laboratories
In cooperation with Chiba University Hospital, the lab collects bacteria in actual hospital laboratories, determines bacterial counts and species, and analyzes the contamination status using the statistical software R. It also conducts clinical research on antibacterial finishing technologies, evaluating how effectively they suppress the transmission of bacteria.
*Illustrative imageSurgical Navigation for Laparoscopic Liver Resection
In laparoscopic liver resection, the surgical field is limited, so support for accurately grasping the positional relationships of tissues is considered necessary. The lab is investigating AR navigation that performs registration using a dual-imaging marker, developed in the lab, that can be detected with high sensitivity under both near-infrared light and X-rays.
*Illustrative imageMedical Data Analysis Using AI
Using actual clinical data provided by Chiba University Hospital and other institutions, the lab builds predictive models for treatment outcomes and cancer metastasis. It also conducts research aimed at diagnostic support, using medical images such as pathology images obtained in clinical practice.
