Masaki Kakeyama, Professor
0 student voices
The Kakeyama Lab studies the mechanisms by which the brain and mind develop healthily and are maintained. It uses methods for analyzing animal behavior in detail and techniques for measuring and manipulating neural activity, and it also conducts studies involving human participants. The lab has investigated how the effects of chemicals experienced in the womb later appear in learning and sociality after the animals have grown up. The findings are provided as scientific knowledge toward elucidating the mechanisms of psychiatric and neurological diseases and developing drugs and food products.
Momoko Sasazuki, Professor
0 student voices
The Sasazuki Lab studies medicine and care for children with serious illnesses or disabilities and their families. Its specialties are palliative medicine, clinical thanatology, and bioethics, and it considers questions concerning life from the perspective of human sciences. The lab has investigated discussions about children's treatment plans and the experiences families have accumulated, grounded in pediatric clinical practice. It aims to connect these findings to support for decision-making and to learning for people involved in medicine and nursing.
Takuya Tsujiuchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Tsujiuchi Lab studies the relationship between recovery from disasters and people's health from the standpoint of medical anthropology. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear accident, the lab has carried out large-scale surveys and interviews with people living as evacuees. Drawing also on methods from psychosomatic medicine and public health, the lab examines how stress, trauma, and social connections affect health. Professor Tsujiuchi serves as director of the Waseda University Institute for Disaster Recovery and Medical Anthropology, which aims to share its findings in Japan and abroad.
Yoshihiro Muraoka, Professor
0 student voices
The Muraoka Lab uses measurement to clarify how the body works, and develops devices that support rehabilitation and health. At its core are elucidating the mechanisms by which paralysis caused by central nervous system disease recovers, and creating treatments based on that understanding. Using electrical stimulation and biofeedback, the lab works to suppress spasticity and to improve the ability to move voluntarily. Rather than simply chasing technology, the lab values starting from social problems and seeking simple, rational solutions.
Yoshiro Okazaki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Okazaki Lab is a biomedical engineering lab that applies everyday technology such as smartphones to healthcare and health management. Medical progress has extended healthy life expectancy, but in remote areas and developing countries many people still cannot receive adequate care. To address this, the lab turns familiar advanced technologies such as AI and IoT into low-cost, easy-to-use forms and brings them to the field. Through hands-on building, it tests mechanisms such as ones that allow eye examinations to be performed on the spot, and also explores paths to commercialization.
Risa Suzuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Suzuki Lab studies how to measure body movement and muscle activity and apply the results to rehabilitation and health management. The lab's fields are health management science and physical therapy science, and its main methods are biofeedback and eye tracking. The lab has investigated how feeding back to individuals their daily movement, measured with activity monitors, changes their daily lives and feelings. The lab also conducts research on education for healthcare professionals, including how therapists can develop a trained eye for observing movement.
Maiko Takahashi, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies how people read, write, and learn, from the standpoints of educational psychology and cognitive science. The lab has worked to clarify what elements make up "Easy Japanese" (yasashii nihongo), Japanese that can be understood by more people. The lab also proposes a program that uses generative AI to improve document-writing skills and tests its effectiveness. As part of the Iwabuchi Lab, the lab also takes part in research on assistive technology.
Yuko Kachi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kachi Lab studies children's health and welfare using the methods of public health and social epidemiology. The lab examines how social conditions, such as a household's economic situation and parents' work patterns, relate to children's health. Its work centers on analyzing large datasets, such as municipal surveys on living conditions and government statistics, with statistical methods. The findings are also delivered to national and local governments to inform policies on children.
