Human Technology Research InstituteCreating products and living environments suitable for humans through a deeper understanding of humansURL : http://unit.aist.go.jp/htri/htri_e/index_e.htmlE-mail : htri-webmaster-ml@aist.go.jpAIST Tsukuba Central 6, 1-1-1 Higashi, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8566, Japan Tel: (029) 861-9488 / Fax: (029) 861-6636 (from outside Japan: Tel: +81-29-861-9488 / Fax: +81-29-861-6636)【 Research Base 】 AIST Tsukuba (Central, East, North)Our institute is a unique research organization consisting of researchers in a wide range of disciplines such as ergonomics, psychology, physiology, brain science, bioengineering, and mathematical science.This allows multidisciplinary approaches to the scientific understanding of human characteristics and living environments. The results would enable the development of products and living environments that are highly compatible with human characteristics. In close cooperation with the related industries, we conduct researches on higher brain functions for cognitive and knowledge-based skills relevant to the information society, and on technologies to evaluate and improve health and mind-body fitness, restore physical functions for independent living, and develop medical devices that are safe and less burdensome for patients. Researches are also carried out to promote industrial standardization applicable to product design for the elderly and people with disabilities, and to develop guidelines to facilitate speedy development of medical devices. The main focus of our research activities is to produce research outcomes that are useful to society.��【 Director 】 Motoyuki Akamatsu【 Deputy Director 】Hirokazu Honma【 Deputy Director 】Takashi Yokoi【 Outline 】Biomedical Research InstituteDeveloping new technology for drug discovery and medical treatmentURL : http://unit.aist.go.jp/biomed-ri/cie/E-mail : bmd-webmaster-ml@aist.go.jpAIST Tsukuba Central 6, 1-1-1 Higashi, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8566, Japan Tel: (029) 861-6022 / Fax: (029) 856-4055 (from outside Japan: Tel: +81-29-861-6022 / Fax: +81-29-856-4055)【 Research Base 】 AIST Tsukuba (Central)We are conducting research and development to clarify the structures and functions of biomolecules and develop new basic technology for drug discovery and medical treatment using knowledge including our study results. It is required, for the development of new drugs and new treatment of the disease, that biomolecules involved in the diseases are studied and abnormal biomolecules are removed or normalized. We are characterizing the functions and structures of genes and proteins that are involved in diseases, developing regulatory techniques of mechanisms that control many biological functions in the cells and the organs, and developing sensors for highly sensitive detection of markers required for disease diagnosis. Through these research activities, we contribute to the development of new drugs and the promotion of the healthcare industry.Development of highly effective ligand protein for affinity purification of human antibodyVisualization of drug bindingVisualization of proteins involved in formation, maintenance and plasticity of synapses in the tissue 【 Director 】 Yoshihiro Ohmiya【 Deputy Director 】Shinya Honda 【 Outline 】BeadsLigands Ion-channel proteinOutside the cellInside the cellGold-labeled drug【 Deputy Director 】Kimihiko Kameyama20Organization and OutlineLife Science and Biotechnology
