Yoshio Matsumoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsumoto Lab (Robotics Lab) studies how to support people's lives using robot technology. In addition to developing useful robots, such as those that assist with daily activities and communication, the lab works on evaluation methods for demonstrating how the robots are useful. The lab aims to identify needs for robotic support in various fields, including medicine, nursing care, welfare, and education, and to design and realize the necessary functions by combining technologies such as mechanics (machinery), sensors (electrical and electronic engineering), and AI (information). The lab's website introduces life-support robots, dialogue robots, and care-support robots.
Masakazu Umezawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Umezawa Lab studies the design and application of nanomaterials that can be used in biomedicine and pharmaceutical sciences. It has become clear that the biomolecules that make up the body form nanoscale structures and show new behaviors, and the lab investigates the relationship between these structures and disease or health conditions. The lab's slogan is "Structure determines function," and it places importance on thinking about both materials and living organisms in terms of structure and function. The lab uses spectroscopic and computational methods to study changes in the structure of biopolymers.
Taketoshi Mori, Professor
0 student voices
The Mori Lab studies robotic caregiving (care robotics), nursing engineering, and healthcare AI. The lab is developing technologies that estimate a person's physical and cognitive functions from sensor data and support well-being by anticipating needs ahead of time. The lab's website states that, as medicine shifts from cure to care, it will realize healthcare support by integrating sensor, robotics, and AI technologies. The lab moved from the University of Tokyo in April 2023 and was established at the same time as the Department of Functional Design Engineering. It is one of the labs that make up the department's Intelligent Recognition field.
Unregistered Unregistered, Professor
0 student voices
The Unregistered Lab conducts research on solving medical challenges through design.
Tatsuya Kai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kai Lab takes control engineering as its main theme and conducts a wide range of research, from fundamental theory to applications in many fields. Control is the technology of operating all kinds of things in the world at will. Control technology is used in everything related to our daily lives, including air conditioners, airplanes, high-rise buildings, and hard disk drives. The lab also works on environmental and energy issues and on robot technology for humans, aiming to contribute to society through control engineering.
Akihiko Kikuchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Kikuchi Lab studies the design of functional polymer materials, biomaterials, and drug delivery systems, all based on polymer materials. Biomaterials are medical materials used in contact with the living body, as typified by artificial organs. By controlling the interactions between materials and biological components, the lab aims to develop new biomaterials that can separate and analyze target biological components and perform diagnosis and treatment.
Jiro Toshima, Professor
0 student voices
The Toshima Lab studies endocytosis and intracellular vesicle transport in the field of cell biology. The lab investigates how endocytosis is controlled by the actin cytoskeleton and how the activity of G protein-coupled receptors is regulated. The lab's website features fluorescence images of endocytosis observed in cancer-like cells. Assistant Professor Hiroki Shimamura has used yeast to analyze the secretory pathway, through which newly synthesized proteins are transported.
Suguru Yoshida, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshida Lab conducts broad research in synthetic organic chemistry and chemical biology. With a view to developing methods and molecules that accelerate life science research, the lab takes a unique approach that draws out the properties of diverse elements, aiming to create new technologies. Through "reaction development" based on knowledge of organometallic chemistry and heteroatom chemistry, the lab aims to deepen and advance organic chemistry.
Shinichi Miyagawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Miyagawa Lab studies sex determination and sex differentiation in animals, as well as the development and differentiation of reproductive organs. These processes are intrinsically programmed into organisms, but they are fine-tuned by various environmental factors and can sometimes change substantially. The lab aims to elucidate these developmental programs while taking into account the influence of the environment. In addition to model organisms such as mice and medaka, the lab also studies wild animals such as fish and reptiles.
Genichiro Arimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Arimura Lab studies how plants and insects recognize other organisms, combining genetic engineering and ecology. It investigates how the scents (odors) released when pest insects chew on plants mediate communication between plants and insects, and among plants. The lab is working to elucidate these mechanisms and to apply such ecosystem systems to agricultural biotechnology.
