Thinking aboutthe future of our planet

research

We are conducting theoretical research into understanding and designing the interface between soft materials and living organisms (individuals, organs, tissues, organisms, cells, bacteria, biomolecules, etc.).
Its applications are expanding to include medical materials, regenerative medicine, and understanding environmental issues.

To all students
A word from the professor !

My motto is to think positively about anything, not as a failure, but as something that I realized didn't work out.
I also try to challenge myself to do things that are difficult or that I don't feel like doing, rather than things that are easy or that I like.
I would be happy to help you spend your youthful and energetic student years meaningfully.
