Laboratory of Bio-Industrial Science and Education
Life Science × Industry × AI ― Creating Solutions for Social Challenges
Our laboratory explores an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates life science, industrial technology, AI, and social innovation to restore and redesign the relationships between nature, industry, and society. By leveraging the creative potential of natural systems, we aim to rebuild sustainable and resilient ecosystems, economies, and communities. Our research includes developing eco-friendly materials from food waste, analyzing microbiomes in various environments, and designing environmentally conscious concrete. We also pursue AI-driven innovations in education and healthcare, and study the genetic basis of learning disabilities―advancing science and human development for a thriving and inclusive future (Formerly: Laboratory of Science and Technology Education)
