The research team comprising member from Professor Hiroyuki Kimura at Research Center for Experimental Modeling of Human Disease, Kanazawa University, Professor Katsuo Mogi at Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Naoki Takada of Research Group Leader at Thermal Fluid Systems Group, Energy Conservation Research Division, Energy and Environment Field, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Takahito Okonogi at Laboko, Inc.(Saitama, Tokyo) signed a research agreement and began joint research for establish a "Space Biology Research Platform" using remote automated cell culture technology and to install the equipment on the Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo" of the International Space Station. with DigitalBlast, Inc. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo).
The purpose of this joint research is to establish an experimental platform in space. However, it is expected that devices that can automate and remotely operate experiments in space can also be applied to life science experiments on the ground and to labor-saving drug discovery, thereby contributing to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
