Tokyo Institute of Technology - RWTH Aachen University: Joint Workshop on "Interfaces of Biological and Bioinspired Materials for Future BioDevices"

In order to make the "Doctoral Students Exchange Program Between RWTH and Tokyo Tech" widely known to everyone in the university, we will hold a workshop inviting several professors from the RWTH Aachen University.

The theme is the latest research on materials and devices that are very important for the post-COVID world and are closely related to our healthcare. We are also pleased to have a professor from Tokyo Medical and Dental University for an invited talk on this topic, in addition to researchers from Tokyo Tech.
