03 Collaborative Research/Sponsored Research

Collaborative research is conducted jointly by researchers in companies and university faculty members. Researchers may work on their collaborative research separately at the facilities of their respective locations. In order to increase the efficiency of collaborative research, Hiroshima University encourages collaborative research partner companies to enter into a comprehensive research collaboration agreement, thereby enabling organized and continuous collaboration for research.Sponsored research is commissioned by companies and conducted by the faculty members of Hiroshima University. Research results are reported to the sponsor companies.

http://seeds.office.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/search/index.html

02 Academic Instruction

Faculty members of Hiroshima University are willing to provide, upon request, part of the broad knowledge they have accumulated through their education and research activities.The purpose of this service is to respond to the needs of companies that cannot be satisfied by joint research. An instruction fee of 20,000 yen per hour will be charged for this service.

Various consultation services are available, including a “consultation desk” to receive inquiries and provide consultation for companies regarding their technical problems or development potentials, and “company visits” to directly provide consultation.

IV. Global Innovation

Hiroshima University Guanajuato Center Opened in 2017

Hiroshima University Myanmar Center Opened in 2016

Global Innovation DivisionIn 2017, the Global Innovation Division was newly established at the Center for the Collaborative Research & Community Cooperation.When comparing the word “innovation” with its synonym “invention” which means new ideas, the innovation means “to create unprecedented value”. Researchers and inventors personally create new ideas, but they do not assume general customer, that is, a market transaction, and the impact can be limited.On the other hand, the innovation premises profitable corporate activities, forms a market with organizational efforts and gives an impact to our society.This is exactly one of the themes undertaken by Center for Collaborative Research & Community Cooperation promoting collaboration between industry, academia and government, and Global Innovation Division takes a mission to focus on its activities with an international perspective. By continuously expanding the impact of innovation from the Hiroshima region to the world, Hiroshima University will form an innovation ecosystem in this area.

International Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration and Recent Activities1) Promotion of collaboration in Latin American region　- Hiroshima University (HU) signed an MOU with University of Guanajuato (2015), National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) (2017), National Autonomous University of

V. Community Cooperation

For Mutual Development of Community and University

The Community Cooperation Division of Hiroshima University acts as an interface between Hiroshima University and the community, not only in education and research but also in various fields of collaboration. The objective of our activities is “to build a new partnership between the University and the community.” To this end, we are promoting various activities to connect the University and the community and create new values, based on the four keywords: “open,” “connect,” “collaborate” and “create.”

As a one-stop consultation window of Hiroshima University, which aims to be an “Open University,” the Community Cooperation Division sends out information on the University’s diverse human and intellectual resources and activities to the community, and carries out technical consultations, campus guided tours, and public relation activities to facilitate access to the University.

Technical ConsultationsAs an integrated one-stop consultation window of Hiroshima University, we offer advice and information on a wide range of matters, including introductions to researchers, and collaborative research.

In AY2011, this project replaced the Hiroshima University Local Community Contribution Research* launched in 2002. Under the new project, two types of cooperation systems were established to tackle a wide variety of challenges in cooperation with the community: “Research Cooperation” (Type A), a project that requires specialized research and technology development, and “Community Cooperation” (Type B), a project that involves Hiroshima University’s faculty and other staff members as well as students. Between AY2002 and AY2015, we received a total of 443 requests from the community, and implemented 114 research projects.

Since the liver of a PXB mouse of which more than 70% is replaced with human cells shows properties close to the human liver, it is used as a predictive model for the study on the safety of pharmaceutical effects. Since the model can be infected with hepatitis B and C, it is also used as a model for testing infection or effect of drugs against hepatitis. PhoenixBio Co., Ltd. is offering in-house experiments using PXB mouse in these fields of new drug development.

World- only animal model that replaces 70% of the liver with human cells. Service start: August 2008. Sales revenue as of March 2009: ¥440 million

Product outline

The cause of dark spots on teeth are tar from tobacco, external factors from pigments of coffee, tea and green tea and when these color, they are hard to remove. So far, some removing effects were seen on these colorings by brushing with toothpaste, brushing using dentifrice from hospital or clinic or even air flows. However, by using melanin foam tooth brush, a more impressive removal effect can be achieved.
