Development of Innovative Medical Devices using Bionanotechnology and drug development for corneal regeneration medicine
We are aiming to develop innovative medical devices by using a new self-assembling peptide gel developed with nanotechnology. The self-assembling peptide gel has high transparency under neutral condition and acts as a scaffold.
The development of medical devices with the self-assembling peptide gel is mainly focused on ophthalmology field where transparency is important. Specifically, we will develop auxiliary materials for surgeries and tissue regeneration. We also aim to develop new drugs for corneal regenerative medicine.
