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.)
-
We are engaged in developing novel methodologies for biosignal analysis from the perspectives of mathematical and data sciences, as well as in creating digital biomarkers using wearable sensors. Going beyond conventional medical applications, our aim is to establish a new framework called Human & Life-integrated Bio-Digital Transformation (HLi-BioDX). This framework leverages cutting-edge bio-digital technologies to enhance safety and well-being throughout daily life—not only in clinical settings, but also in workplaces and other real-world environments.

We aim to develop objective technologies for assessing disease states, estimating the risk of disease onset (mibyo), and evaluating well-being, based on the principles of hemodynamic regulation of physiological systems. To achieve this, our laboratory utilizes IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, including wearable devices, to continuously collect multidimensional psycho-behavioral-physiological signals such as heart rate, physical activity, mood, and symptoms in real-world settings. Furthermore, we are developing behavior change technologies based on mobile platforms to reduce health risks and promote well-being.
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.
