Biomechanical Engineering
- Mechanical and Bioengineering Systems Group (Aoi Lab.)
-
Our study aims to elucidate the mechanisms of intelligent adaptive behaviors, especially locomotion, in humans and animals through the analysis of measured data and computer simulation of neuro-musculo-skeletal systems based on the dynamical systems theory and computational neuroscience. Furthermore, we develop the control scheme of legged robots based on the findings to achieve adaptive locomotor functions.
- Biomechanics Group (Wada Lab.)
-
We are investigating the biomechanical structure and functions from cells to organisms by meads of computational and experimental approaches. The current topics are: 1) Microbiomechanics of tissue and cells, 2) Multi-scale analysis of blood flow, 3) Rule-based simulation of vascular disease progression, 4) Advance in clinical diagnosis of lung and heart diseases by computational biomechanics.
Biophysical Engineering
- Biophysics and Data Science Group (Kiyono Lab.)
-
- Bio-Dynamics Group (Nomura Lab.)
-
We study both experimentally and theoretically, the different types of dynamic phenomena in biology ranging from the level of gene regulation and neurons/heart-cells to that of locomotion ? type of the higher functions of the brain. Constructing in silico dynamical system models of these biological phenomena and analyzing their dynamics may lead us to understanding emergent mechanisms of biological functions.
Biomedical and Biophysical Measurements
- Molecular BioMeasurement Group (Deguchi Lab.)
-
We study the biomedical photonics measurement. The main research subjects are the detection of tissue aging by photonics, molecular imaging by CARS microscopy, detection of collagen orientation by tissue SHG light, micro sensor using a vital cell, biomechanics of human blood vessel, quality control for tissue engineering, and noncontact measurement of coating thickness by THz light.
- Bioimaging Group (Oshiro Lab.)
-
We will challenge to generate the transdisciplinary field based on biomedical measurement, CG, VR and communication technology. The main research activity focuses on the visualization of various biological organizations, for example, DNA, protein, cell, tissue, organ and so on. Furthermore, we are studying to interact the cyber human body with CG/VR technology and share biological information via Internet.
