Advanced technologies back up various medical fronts (operating room, diagnostic laboratory, hospital ward, health and welfare, care welfare) and this seems to be the trend for the foreseeable future. These technologies are based on the progress of electric/electronic engineering, chemical/mechanical engineering, information technology as well as human engineering. Two professors with different backgrounds engage in the wide range of biomedical research in optical, electromagnetic wave and the measurement of electroencephalogram.

- Noninvasive measurement of tissue oxygenation in brain and muscle using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) (Niwayama)
- Concentration measurement of hemoglobin derivatives using visible and near-infrared light (Niwayama)
- Development of terahertz laser spectrometer (Sasaki)
- Defect detection in organic molecules by terahertz spectroscopy (Sasaki)
