2researchProfessor EmeritusSUGIYAMA Masanori(Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences)HU has established an "Industry-Academia Collaboration Consultation Desk" to receive inquiries and provide consultation for companies regarding their technical problems or collaborative research and development projects. The Hiroshima University's Industry-Academia-Government-Partnership Network is working to strengthen services to local industries through training programs, research grants, and in-house Iectures.ProfessorProfessorProducts Born from Research CollaborationMYFLORANomura Dairy Products Co., Ltd.MYFLORA is a new “fermented food,” developed based on research conducted at Hiroshima University. This fermented lactic acid bacteria extract contains plant-derived lactic acid bacteria that reach the intestines alive, Lactobacillus plantarum. Since L. plantarum helps balance the intestinal flora, you can keep your intestines clean by drinking a glass of the extract every day. Products Born from Research CollaborationAltan NA Hand SoapAltan Co., Ltd.This hand soap, containing persimmon tannin extract, keeps your hands clean. The smooth and creamy lather will thoroughly wash out the stains from your hands.Hiroshima Universityʼs joint research has produced many other foods,industrial products, pharmaceutical drugs, and more.Products Born from Research CollaborationChocolat MillIshino Mitoku Co., Ltd.Inoue Stone Mason Co., Ltd.Chocolat Mill is a bean to bar chocolate-maker utilizing a granite mill to grind the beans. With this apparatus whose analogues are rare in the world, totally personalized manufacturing is possible, starting from the selection of cacao beans.To respond to the need for digitalizing manufacturing, an imminent challenge facing local communities, the center is engaged in a broad range of R&D and human resource develop-ment relating to model-based materials research, the creation of smart control and production processes, and so forth. The center also aims to construct a full-fledged academia-industry collabo-ration system to realize community-level innovation.The 2018 Western Japan heavy rainfall disaster (successive heavy downpours in southwestern Japan in July 2018) caused heavy damage to the local social infrastructure, including housing, water supply systems and roads, due to widespread mudslides, sediment flow, and floods, claiming over 200 lives. While raising funds through various means, including crowdfunding, the Resilience Research Center works to elucidate the mechanisms of disasters. The center is committed to supporting disaster-resil-ient community building through human resource development and collaboration with the national and local governments, private businesses, and local residents.22centers(as of April 1, 2022)ResearcherResearcherResearcherProfessor EmeritusSATO Kiyotaka(Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life)Supporting industrial development with accumulatedacademic knowledge and information●Technical Consultation  ●Collaborative Research●Hiroshima University's Industry-Academia- Government-Partnership NetworkOpening on-campus research centers jointly withcorporate partnersSHIMAMOTO Tadashi(Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life)SAKAGUCHI Takemasa(Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences)Digitalizing manufacturing to promote Digitalizing manufacturing to promote community-level innovationcommunity-level innovationDigital Monozukuri (Manufacturing)Digital Monozukuri (Manufacturing)Education and Research CenterEducation and Research CenterElucidating KANSEI on the basis of brain Elucidating KANSEI on the basis of brain sciences to contribute to peopleʼs well-beingsciences to contribute to peopleʼs well-beingCenter for Brain, Mind and KANSEI Sciences Center for Brain, Mind and KANSEI Sciences Research (Moonshot R&D Project for Mental Research (Moonshot R&D Project for Mental Wealth by Music and KANSEI Sciences)Wealth by Music and KANSEI Sciences)Mental health maintenance and enhancement have become a major global challenge. Expectations have been riding high on scientific studies attempting to elucidate the mechanism of the mind and the development of technologies that contribute to mental well-being and enrichment, particularly in recent years against the background of the coronavirus pandemic and trends toward the metaverse era. The Center for Brain, Mind and KANSEI Sciences is working to elucidate the brain mechanism of perception and sensibility (so-called KANSEI) through analysis of the brain interoceptive network (BIN), and to develop wearable technologies visualizing KANSEI, in creative collaboration with other domestic and international universities, businesses, local governments, and many other stakeholders. The Center expects to apply its research achievements to maximize positive perception and minimize negative perception, thereby helping realize a society where well-being is assured.Contributing to the realization of the SDGs throughContributing to the realization of the SDGs throughindustry-academia collaboration in “Bio-DX”industry-academia collaboration in “Bio-DX”Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)Program for Industry-Academia Co-creationProgram for Industry-Academia Co-creationCenter of innovation forCenter of innovation forBio-Digital Transformation (“Bio-DX”)Bio-Digital Transformation (“Bio-DX”)To overcome societal challenges, such as new infectious diseases, food shortages, and carbon emission reduction, Hiroshima University promotes industry-academic co-creation based on the concept of Bio x Digital Transformation (“Bio-DX”), which draws out the maximum potential of biological functions. This project is ultimately aimed at building an innovative ecosystem for a bio-economy society that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs.Tackling synergistic torrentialTackling synergistic torrentialrainfall-induced disasters, which arerainfall-induced disasters, which areintensifying due to climate changeintensifying due to climate changeResilience Research CenterResilience Research CenterProfessorUENO SatoruCenter for Collaborative Researchwith External OrganizationsCenter for CollaborativeResearch with ExternalOrganizationsMajor Programs under the Industry, Academia, Government,and Community Collaboration
