On Thursday, November 7, 2024, a student of our laboratory made a presentation at the 9th STI-Gigaku 2024 held at Aore Nagaoka, Nagaoka, Japan.

Shota Tsuji "Development of a new micro-contact printing method using a cutting machine"

Yuto Takahashi "Heterocellular Adhesion System by Zebrafish-Human Chimeric Proteins for Heart Regeneration"

Haruka Kato "Synthesis and characterization of near-IR absorbing d8 transition metal complexes with o-phenylenediamine derivatives for photodynamic therapy"

Taira Oda "Development of microfluidic devices using polystyrene"

Haruka Sunamura "Induction and characterization ofcardiomyocytes derived fromfluorescent reporter human iPS cells"

Jo Onozuka "Synchronization and integration of human cardiomyocytes xenotransplanted into zebrafish"

Hazuki Tsuboi "Mimicking dynamics of human gastrulation: microprint culture of human iPS cells"

Keita Nakajima "Preparation of Organogels Using Biomass Pectin for Application in Lipid-Soluble Drug Delivery Systems"

In addition, Jo Onozuka's “Synchronization and integration of human cardiomyocytes xenotransplanted into zebrafish” received the "Best Research Presentation Award by Sumitomo Riko Company Limited".

Congratulations!

STI-Gigaku is an international conference centered on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), organized by students of Nagaoka University of Technology since 2016. The conference brings together universities and companies from Japan and around the world to discuss global challenges such as energy, climate change, and poverty, with the aim of raising awareness and driving action towards the SDGs.

Takahashi from Gunma Kosen has joined Ohnuma-Lab.

He will work with us from September to February as a NUT and Gunma Kosen reciprocal agreement program student.

As a member of the Zebrafish group, he will study humanization of zebrafish.

We're looking forward to working with you over the next half year!

 

Kosen students have come to open house.

Open House will be held for a week from 9/2 (Mon.) to 9/6 (Fri.).

Two Kosen students will visit our lab and experience experiments of the zebrafish group and the selforganization group.

At the end of the week, they will present what they did during the week.

On July 24th, we held a welcome and farewell party for Thai students.

We enoyed eating sushi,fried chicken, takoyaki,etc!

On June 27th and 28th, at the 96th annual meeting of the Japanese Tissue Culture Association, first-year Master's student Miyu Mori received the English Presentation Award.

Congratulations on your achievement！

Two students from Thailand came to our lab!
Their names are Pasihn Nimmanpipak and Pawaratee Pinprapharkorn.
They will participate in the lab activities from June 6 to July 31.
We will make many good memories with them!

Keita Nakajima's paper "Utilization of Multi-Ionic Interaction of Yumoto Hot Springs for Enhancing the Moisturizing Properties of Hyaluronic Acid Sodium Salt." has been accepted by Polysaccharides.

Furthermore, Miyu Mori's paper "Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from four Rett syndrome patients with MECP2 mutations." has been accepted by Stem Cell Research.

A party was held to celebrate their achievements.

Congratulations!

New members has joined our lab: Keita Nakajima (Docter 1st), Raul Emilio Macias Estrada (Master 1st) and Shota tsuji (Bachelor 3rd).

On February 9th and 26th, long-term internship report meetings were held, during which fourth-year undergraduate students (Mori, Sunamura, Onozuka, and Oda) who returned from their long-term internships gave presentations on what they had learned.

We have a new addition to our lab!

His name is "Goma-chan".

Please take care of "Goma-chan" from now on.

We had a Christmas party on December 27th, and everyone enjoyed eating cake together.

Limjanthong N. (D3) presented his work on "Gravity-driven microfluidics assisted with a slow-tilting table" at Cheminas 48.

On 11 (Mon) Sept 2023, we had a farewell party for Takahi, who will take PhD in this September.

We would like to thank her for her guidance.
Thank you for your hard work over the past seven and a half years.

We all wish her continued success in her future endeavors.

The second Open House was held for a week from 9/4 (Mon.) to 9/8 (Fri.).

This time, three Kosen students experienced experiments with zebrafish, planaria, and selforganization group.

At the end of the week, they presented what they had done during the week and produced posters to introduce what regeneration is.

Open House was held for a week from 8/28 (Mon.) to 9/1 (Fri.).

Three Kosen students visited our lab and experienced experiments conducted by the zebrafish, planaria, and microdevice groups.

At the end of the week, they presented what they had done during the week and made posters to introduce planaria.

 

We started a homepage.

Please look forward to the update.
