OSAKA DENTAL UNIVERSITY

The divisions of this Center will effectively support commercialization of results obtained from basic research and clinical research inside and outside the university in cooperation with external research institutions and corporates.

Message from the Director

We need to cross many hurdles to finish discoveries and seeds created from basic medical research and clinical ingenuity into medical devices that can be used in clinical practice. In other words, we must overcome the challenge of obtaining approval based on the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act when we incorporate them into clinical practice as a medical device. In spite of enormous efforts of many researchers from universities and corporates, it is very difficult to obtain approval. It is impossible to avoid these hurdles since they are based on the laws and regulations. Thus, we need a system to identify the hurdles and come up with solutions to overcome them. The Center for Industrial Research and Innovation plays a role to establish such a system in developing medical devices in the university.
We will work together to overcome these high hurdles in research and development of medical devices, drugs, and as well as miscellaneous medical products inside and outside the university. I hope the Center will be helpfull to many.
