Tomonori Tsukiya, Visiting Professor
0 student voices
The Biomedical Engineering Lab's research areas are medical devices, artificial organs (cardiovascular), biomeasurement, physiological monitoring, and biomaterials. The lab belongs to the Bioengineering area of the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering, Graduate School of Engineering Science, The University of Osaka, and is run by a visiting professor. The Bioengineering area aims to analyze and understand the structure and function of living organisms at various scales, and to apply the findings to fields such as medicine and engineering for practical use.
Akihiko Ishijima, Professor

The lab observes, manipulates, and measures biological phenomena at the single-molecule level in aqueous solution, keeping their function intact as much as possible. The lab works on elucidating the rotation mechanism of the bacterial flagellar motor, the signal transduction mechanism of the bacterial chemotaxis system, and the working mechanism of actomyosin. The lab's microscope systems are customized, and building the instruments is part of the research. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Ishijima Lab."
Mototaka Suzuki, Professor

The Brain Engineering Lab works to elucidate the basic operating principles of brain neural circuits, centered on dendrites. The lab states that the operating principles of the brain are still unknown and are fundamentally different from those of current artificial intelligence. In 2020, the lab found that general anesthesia blocks information transmission via the dendrites of layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex, and the paper was published in Cell. The lab welcomes students who readily adopt novel ideas and new technologies and take on difficult problems of the brain.
Shinji Nishimoto, Professor

The lab studies the neural basis of the complex and diverse brain functions that support daily life. It builds predictive models that explain brain activity recorded with fMRI and electrophysiological recordings, aiming to quantitatively understand information processing and information representation in the brain. As applications of these predictive models, the lab also aims to develop the mathematical foundations for brain decoding and for communication methods built on it. The lab belongs to the Division of Brain and Neural Engineering. It operates as part of the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences and as the Nishimoto Group at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and members from diverse backgrounds work together on its research.
Fumiyo Ikeda, Professor

The lab focuses on ubiquitin, a molecule that carries out post-translational modification. Ubiquitin is involved in every kind of biological effect, and when the ubiquitin system breaks down, it can trigger diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. By understanding the fundamental principles of the ubiquitin system, the lab aims to approach the mechanisms by which many diseases arise. In particular, the lab focuses on linear ubiquitin chains generated by LUBAC.

The lab studies the mechanisms by which features unique to humans, not found in other animals, arise. By combining evolutionary genomics with stem cell technology, it seeks to uncover the origins of what makes us human at the molecular and cellular levels. Humans acquired a huge brain and high cognitive abilities, but they also bear an evolutionary cost: a susceptibility to psychiatric and neurological disorders and cancer. The lab belongs to the Division of Brain and Neural Engineering in the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences.
Takanori Isobe, Professor

The Isobe Lab studies next-generation security foundations with cryptography at its core. The lab advances the design of cryptography and the security evaluation of cryptographic systems in actual use, from both theoretical and implementation perspectives. With the goal of putting research results into practice in society, the lab collaborates with industry, standardization bodies, and the open-source software (OSS) community. Each student has an independent research theme and advances it through discussions with their advisors and fellow researchers.
Naoki Wakamiya, Professor

The Wakamiya Lab studies new information and communication technologies by learning from the mechanisms of living organisms. Information and communication systems grow larger and more complex every year, and unexpected situations can cause their performance to drop drastically or stop altogether. The lab therefore works on Bio-ICT, which applies the highly scalable, adaptable, and robust mechanisms of living organisms to information and communication technology. Rather than imitating the outward structure or behavior of organisms, the lab takes the mathematical models behind them as its object of study.

The Dependability Engineering Lab conducts research in the field of dependable computing. The lab also has a strong interest in related fields such as software engineering. Its work includes software testing and verification and the reliability evaluation of systems. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Dependability Engineering Lab."
Hirozumi Yamaguchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamaguchi Lab conducts research on technologies that benefit cities and people, centered on real-world sensing, digital twins, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). The lab collects real-world data from LiDAR, cameras, wireless sensing devices, robots, and other sources, and uses it for AI-based analysis and prediction. Its target areas include smart cities, mobility and transportation, disaster mitigation and prevention, smart agriculture, and space and satellite technologies. The lab is introduced as the Mobile Computing Group in the Department of Information Networking, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology.
