FOR COMPANIES

Collaboration

The Department of Laboratory Medicine welcomes industry-academia collaboration in various forms — joint research, contract research, and technology transfer — through basic and clinical research related to the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic malignancies. We flexibly tailor collaboration to your company's needs, whether that involves new diagnostic technologies, therapeutic drug development, or building testing platforms. Please feel free to contact us to get started.

Collaboration Menu

  • Joint Research

    Companies and the university share costs and personnel to conduct joint research. Ownership of intellectual property arising from the research is determined through mutual discussion. We can accommodate a wide range of fields, including hematologic oncology, infectious disease, and laboratory medicine.

  • Contract Research

    The university carries out research commissioned by a company. We undertake specialized analyses such as evaluation of specific compounds, devices, or reagents, and drug sensitivity testing using patient-derived cells.

    We are available to discuss licensing agreements and technology transfer for the practical application of diagnostic technologies, assay systems, and analytical methods developed in our laboratory.

  • Research Funding & Endowed Chairs

    We welcome financial support for our research activities and contributions in the form of scholarship donations. Inquiries regarding the establishment of endowed chairs are also welcome, in accordance with university regulations.
