Shiba Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A biomedical engineering lab that develops new medical devices using electrical and electronic engineering.
AboutAbout the lab
Building unprecedented medical devices with electrical and electronic engineering
The Shiba Lab uses electrical engineering, electromagnetic engineering, and power electronics to research new medical devices that support the treatment of hard-to-treat diseases.
In particular, it develops systems that wirelessly transmit energy to medical devices implanted in the body (TETS), and treatment devices for deep-seated cancer that use electromagnetic waves and high electric fields.
In all of its research, the lab places importance on safety for the human body, and it also studies the biological effects of electromagnetic fields and works on creating safety standards.
The lab's website says that the Shiba Lab may be about the only lab at Tokyo University of Science that works on biomedical engineering from an electrical engineering perspective.
Key terms
- TETS
- A system that wirelessly transmits energy from outside the body to a medical device inside the body. It is planned for use in devices such as ventricular assist devices.
- Power electronics
- A field of electrical and electronic engineering that converts and controls electric power.
- High-frequency leakage current
- High-frequency current that leaks from a medical device. Its measurement and suppression are being studied for the safety of the human body.

ResearchResearch themes
The Shiba Lab uses electrical engineering, electromagnetic engineering, and power electronics to develop new medical devices that support the treatment of hard-to-treat diseases. In particular, it studies wireless power supply to medical devices implanted in the body and treatment devices using electromagnetic waves, and it also examines safety for the human body.
*Illustrative imagePowering implanted devices and deep-seated cancer treatment devices
The lab develops a system (TETS) that wirelessly transmits energy to medical devices implanted in the body, using high frequencies of 100 kHz and above and electromagnetic waves. It is also developing new treatment devices for deep-seated cancer that use electromagnetic waves and high electric fields.
*Illustrative imageBiological effects of electromagnetic fields and the electromagnetic environment
Because safety for the human body is important in all of its research, the lab studies the biological effects of electromagnetic fields. It is also building systems with the electromagnetic environment in mind, including measuring and suppressing high-frequency leakage current and radiated electromagnetic fields from medical devices, and suppressing conducted noise.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping safety standards for medical devices
The lab compares its work with international safety standards, drafts new safety standards, and studies measurement methods that can be applied to international standards. Since 2019, it has taken part in the Medical Device Development Guideline Formulation Project of the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED), where it is creating safety guidelines.
