In this research, we introduce the world’s first device which can accurately determine 5 stages of REM, NonREM 1, 2, 3, Awake simply by measuring heart rate.

Mental health issue is glowingly important in many countries. However, due to the lack of biomarkers that closely reflect illness severity, psychiatry field suffers enormously in diagnosing, assessing treatment response, and developing new drugs. We are developing new assessment tools to quantify the severity of psychiatric symptoms utilizing information technology and machine targeting patients’ voice, facial expression, body movement, language, heart rate variability, electro encephalogram, language, daily activity, sleep, etc.

The first step in characterizing the action of drugs and bioactive molecules is to visualize them. In general, however, such visualizations are difficult because these molecules are not visible and tissues are not transparent. Here, we will introduce a new approach to overcome these difficulties by integrated development of probes and microscope.

Over 500 million people in the world are annoyed with hearing loss and biomedical scientists have been developing gene therapies for the deafness. We are trying to generate new methods efficiently introduce genes into the inner ear to support those therapeutics by utilizing multifunctional hydrogel-based microparticles.

The number of patients with prostate cancer is increasing rapidly, and the mortality rate in male cancer will be ranked first in the near future. Although organ confined prostate cancer has become curable, treatment outcome for metastatic prostate cancer is limited. In this study, in order to deepen the understanding of drug resistance, we are conducting glycomics of drug resistant prostate cancer cells.
