―29―Innovative Development of Biomaterials from Shinshu to the WorldGraduated from School of Medicine, Shinshu University in 1988, and PhD from Graduate School of Medicine, Shin-shu University in 1996.Appointed as Professor, School of Medi-cine, Shinshu University in 2004, and Professor/Director of the Institute for Biomedical Sciences in 2014.ProfessorNaoto SaitoWe aim to reduce the medical expenses and physical burden of patients by developing new pharmaceuticals and medical devices.With the recent development of bioactive adduct carbon nanoparti-cles to control metastatic cancer in bones, we will improve the quality of life and vital prognosis of patients suffering from bone metastases.By continuing to graduate school, students will develop the ability to condently set goals with high research and problem-solving skills. Graduates move on to become successful researchers, teachers, medical equipment manufacturers, and medical institution staff.Outlook for researchOutlook for students after graduationTherapeutic exercise: to prevent or improve disorders caused by disease, injury or agingI am in charge of subjects to learn about physical activity useful for the prevention and treatment of cardiopulmonary disease and diabetes.Even if there are sickness or injuries and disabilities caused by cardiopulmonary disease and diabetes, it is desirable that we fulll our roles and extend the years that we can do what we want to do in the super aged Japanese society. Maintaining and improving aerobic tness has been reported to prevent disease, injury and their complications, and prolong life expectancy (Refer to upper-right gure).How much aerobic tness do we need to prevent disease? What kind of physical activities leads to the extension of healthy life expectancy?Why would you not learn with us?One of the biggest challenges therapeutic exercise face today is to prevent or minimize the conditions leading to long-term care over a lifetime. If convenient evaluation methods and exercise prescription can be put into practical use, therapeutic exercise will spread as a prevention and treatment method of frail and nursing care conditions.After graduation, most graduates will nd jobs in health, medical, welfare facilities or general companies. Some enroll in the graduate school. I recommend that you have two or more med-/long-term plans and have repeated experiences with a purpose. Please look back on the results and keep moving through life. Osler’s dictum “the value of experience is not in seeing much but in seeing wisely” has never rung truer.Outlook for researchOutlook for students after graduationGraduated from Saigata Rehabilitation School and joined the Department of Physical Therapy, School of Allied Med Sciences, Shinshu University after work-ing as a physical therapist at Ishikawa and Tokyo. He has been working at Shin-shu University since 2002.Professor Masayoshi OhiraPhysicalTherapyPhysicalTherapyAging usually accelerates decline of physical strength and health and causes inconvenience through various illness, injury and complications. We know that moderate exercises can prevent or decrease these problems.The aim of this study was to verify the possibility of aerobic tness determination during a sit-to-stand exercise. Exercise causes changes in glucose homeostasis. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) during exercise should be a good habit for patients with diabetes.Model of an articial joint containing carbon nanotubesCarbon nanohorn (CNH) carrying anticancer agents and monoclonal antibodiesTitanium ber plateApplied PhysicalTherapyApplied PhysicalTherapyWe specialize in biotechnology and biomedical engineering in the following themes to develop world-leading biomaterials and medical devices:1) Nanocarbon application in biomaterials: the biological properties of carbon nanoparticles are peculiar and not yet fully understood. We are testing materials with new ideas and techniques to create anti-cancer agents, drug delivery systems for cerebrovascular disorders and so on.2) Scaffolding for bone tissue regeneration: our contributions to medical innovation include the development of titanium ber plates with unique properties.3) Development of novel articial joints and spinal fusion implants: we are testing biomaterials that have the same elasticity as bones but with higher resistance to wear and fracture.Physical Therapy Outlook for research Innovative Development of Biomaterials from Shinshu to the World We specialize in biotechnology and biomedical engineering in the following themes to develop world-leading biomaterials and medical devices: 1) Nanocarbon application in biomaterials: the biological properties of carbon nanoparticles are peculiar and not yet fully understood.
