Beat Your Arrhythmia:
Innovative Laser Therapy Launched from KEIO University

Professor ARAI, Tsunenori
Department of Applied Physics and Physico-informatics
We have proposed the application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to non-thermal arrhythmia treatment and developed a clinical device. We will present new findings of in vitro and in vivo studies and show you the laser catheter devices under development.

Diagnose, Extend, and Weld Blood Vessels with Laser Technology
Professor ARAI, Tsunenori
Department of Applied Physics and Physico-informatics
We will present to you laser technology that diagnoses blood vessels, extends them without breakage, and welds the holes in them without exogenous material. We have reserved a number of patents and have practical experience. We will demonstrate the operation of the newly developed angioplasty device.

Surface Engineering for Biomaterials
Professor KOMOTORI, Jun
Department of Mechanical Engineering
In recent years, metals are used as implants for medical treatment and are placed inside the human body for a long time. To satisfy safety requirements in long-term usage, there have been numerous approaches toward such materials. Here are some of the new surface modification processes developed recently.

Smell Test for Health Checking
Professor OKADA, Kenichi
Department of Information and Computer Science
The olfactory system can catch the scent of danger such as gas leak. It is therefore important to test to see whether you have olfactory dysfunction or not. We propose a method of testing the olfactory system easily within a short time. A smell test can then be introduced into regular health checks.

Neural Sciences of Mind and Body
Associate Professor USHIBA, Junichi
Research Associate KASUGA, Shoko
Department of Biosciences and Informatics
We are researching mechanisms of how the brain controls the human body in collaboration with medical faculties and hospitals. We anticipate that we will be able to contribute to the development of rehabilitation devices, or thought-controlled orthoses for the purpose of functional motor recovery from hemiplegia triggered by stroke.

Laser Processing for Biomedicine
Assistant Professor TERAKAWA, Mitsuhiro
Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering
The research focuses on the creation of novel biomedical technologies by using pulsed laser. Cell-selective delivery of molecules, laser-based controlled release of drugs, and laser processing of biodegradable materials will be exhibited, which will contribute to future drug delivery, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine.
