The University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Hospital, NTT East, JEOL, Nikon, and Nikon Solutions are working together to share and utilize large-scale data that will be needed in the life science and medical fields in the future, and to enable remote experiments. The two companies have entered into a collaboration agreement to realize DX (digital transformation), including the construction of a remote environment for
According to the University of Tokyo, in modern times, with the fusion of bioresearch and digital technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence) and IT, biotechnology is being used not only in the conventional health and medical fields, but also in all fields such as the environment, energy, and food, and is improving society. It is hoped that a ``bioeconomy society'' will be realized that will solve these problems.
The efforts under the collaboration agreement are measures to achieve this, including the construction of digital infrastructure that enables remote operation of research equipment, data acquisition and analysis, and the realization of guidance, dialogue, and education systems through remote image data sharing. , will focus on the realization of digital infrastructure that enables highly secure storage, movement, and analysis of large-scale life science and medical data.
A system that has the same operability as on-site even when operated remotely, a system that can transfer large amounts of acquired data at high speed, and a system that allows multiple experts to discuss a single microscope image in real time, is an explosive development. The aim is to develop mechanisms that can transfer and analyze biodata, which is expected to increase rapidly, at high speed.
