Designed Medical Device Area Leader

Aiming for early realization of devices for personalized medicine that extend healthy life expectancy

We will take advantage of the imaging technologies possessed by Keio University and the 3D printing technology and the knowledge of materials owned by JSR Corporation, so that we can work on the clinical tasks that need our urgent attention and immediately reflect the results in medical care. These personalized medical devices are required not only in the areas of dental surgery, orthopedic surgery, and implants but also in preoperative planning for general gastroenterological surgery and cardiovascular surgery.

One of my roles is to balance research and commercialization. We provide a business perspective on what kind of business can be created from a professor's ideas, how to efficiently use resources, and what to do in order to realize it in the short term.

Another role is a collaborator. As research takes shape, there are things that JSR Corporation cannot accomplish on its own. JSR Corporation will serve as a hub, as required, to play a part in more optimal cooperation with companies and promoting collaboration among companies.
I am delighted that JKiC will be able to collaborate as an equal partner instead of the relationship between parties to order and accept orders. I hope that both can work together toward the same goal and produce even better results.
