Our center drives medical device R\&D directly within the hospital's clinical setting. By partnering closely with physicians from multiple specialties, nurses, and allied health professionals, we offer companies practical, fast-track support to bring innovative medical devices to life. , **Biomedical Engineering, Industry-Academia Collaboration, Rapid Prototyping, Innovative Medical Devices , Cooperative Research with Other Research Organization Including Private (industrial) Sectors , Cooperative Research
We are developing a next-generation safety-evaluation platform that harnesses fertilized embryos of the Iberian ribbed newt. Thanks to their exceptional regenerative capacity and transparent developmental stages, these embryos offer a compelling alternative to traditional mammalian and zebrafish models. , Cooperative Research with Other Research Organization Including Private (industrial) Sectors , Cooperative Research

This researcher is dedicated to tackling unmet needs arising from medical-engineering collaboration through a comprehensive approach, from design and electronic circuits to embedded software and mass production design. In recent years, he has been working on a next-generation safety evaluation platform using Iberian ant newt embryos, promoting AI-based automated embryo selection and prototyping of microwell devices for high-throughput testing. Combining 3D printing and precision machining, he rapidly develops everything from research jigs to educational materials and demonstration test equipment. Furthermore, he excels at organizing design, quality, and operational requirements while considering the boundaries between SaMD and non-SaMD, defining requirements based on clinical observations, and presenting practical prototypes using Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers, and image processing. He places emphasis on linking research results to education and social implementation, and designs a "research process that directly leads to development and commercialization" by integrating regulatory, insurance, and intellectual property considerations.
We design and operate practical education that encourages students to "learn on-site, get hands-on, and share their findings." We create a learning experience that includes a forum for medical professionals and engineers to define problems together, hospital tours and hands-on activities, prototyping exercises, presentations, and reflections. Our problem-solving curriculum, which integrates 3D CAD, circuit design, and embedded development, transforms ideas into working prototypes. We expand learning opportunities through real-time streaming and archive management, and connect students with companies and researchers through industry-academia collaborative events, networking events, and various study sessions. We simultaneously support the social implementation of learning outcomes and career development.
