According to the key word “materials” in this year, more than 100 participants from inside and outside attended in the conference. Not only undergraduate and graduate students but also high school students presented in the poster session. The conference leads to lots of fruitful discussions which expands collaborations driving further developments of science and technology. Note that the evening session was supported by AAAS Science which is for sure contribute to deeper understandings of interdisciplinary research fields.

Tokai University research: Nanomaterial wrap for improved tissue imaging
Researchers at Tokai University describe in Advanced Materials how wrapping biological tissue in a nanosheet of a particular organic material results in high-quality microscopy images. Application of the wrap prevents the sample from drying out, and hence from shrinking, enabling larger image-recording times.

Establishment of Imaging Center for Advanced Research in Tokai University

On 9 Aug. 2016 the signing ceremony was held at Shonan Campus in Tokai University. Prof. Yamada, president of Tokai University, sealed for comprehensive agreement with Mr. Kimura, president of Nikon Instech Co., Ltd.
Researchers at MNTC are encouraged to participate in collaborative projects with industries including Nikon Co. on related topics of imaging studies using facilities in the Imaging Center for Advanced Research.
Imaging Center for Advanced Research is an open research facility, which is available for all researchers and technicians inside and outside of Tokai University.

東海大学イメージング研究センターが設立されました

Opening TICAR

2016年８月９日に湘南キャンパス17号館ネクサスホールで、本学と株式会社ニコンインステックによる産学連携包括協定の締結式と、同協定に基づいて12号館１階に開設した「東海大学イメージング研究センター」の内覧会を行いました。本センターは、ニコン製の顕微鏡をはじめとした研究用バイオイメージング機器や製品開発に必要となる産業機器を備える本学では初の施設で、学内のみならず外部の研究者も利用できる産学連携型の研究拠点です。本センターを活用して、マイクロ・ナノ研究開発センターが産学連携による共同研究を積極的に推進していきます。
