Kobori Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab computationally solves the flows inside artificial organs, supporting medicine through chemical engineering.
AboutAbout the lab
Supporting medicine through applied chemistry.
The Kobori Lab studies biomedical chemical engineering, an interdisciplinary field between engineering and medicine.
The core of its research is elucidating transport phenomena, centered on mass balance.
In particular, the lab analyzes how blood, oxygen, and dialysate flow in artificial lungs and artificial kidneys used in clinical practice.
Besides optimizing existing devices, the lab also aims to propose high-performance artificial organs with entirely new shapes.
Key terms
- Biomedical chemical engineering
- A field that applies the concepts of chemical engineering to medical devices and treatment, considering design in terms of the movement of materials and heat
- Artificial lung
- A medical device used during heart surgery. It adds oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide
- Hollow fiber membrane
- A thin membrane that is hollow inside, like a straw. Substances are exchanged across its wall
ResearchResearch themes
Liquids and gases flow continuously inside artificial organs, and substances move through them. Because the way they flow greatly affects performance, the lab devises organ models shaped to be easy to analyze, and aims to elucidate these phenomena and predict performance through computer simulation.
