Activities

On June 13, 2026, Associate Professor Toshihiro Takamatsu was accepted into the Business Planning (BP) Course of the Research Studio GET Program 2026 at the BP Course selection event held at Nihonbashi Life Science Hub.

At the selection event, he presented a business concept for surgical navigation technology using near-infrared hyperspectral imaging. Through the BP Course, we will further develop the business plan toward future implementation in clinical settings.

We participated in the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Spectroscopical Society of Japan in Fukui. On June 10, Yuichi Echigo, an M1 student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, presented our research on near-infrared spectroscopic imaging endoscopy.

After the meeting, we had a discussion and reception with Dr. Kutsumi from Fukui Rehabilitation Hospital and Prof. Okino from Institute of Science Tokyo, exchanging ideas on future research directions and medical applications.
