Promoting R&D through cooperation among medical science, nursing science, and engineering fields

We will promote joint research in medicine, nursing, and engineering, centering around the Shizuoka Cancer Center and its associated Research Institute. By applying these results in an ongoing manner, we can promote research and development of more effective diagnostic and treatment methods.

Acquiring the full cooperative benefits from an integrated coordinated business effort jointly with the capital's science universities
(Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, and Waseda University)

Promoting joint research with the aim of revitalizing regional industries

Building a research and development network with medical business clusters both inside and outside the prefecture

Examples of cooperative research between medicine, nursing, and engineering
