Program: Program Staff (Yoshiyuki Tanaka) | Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Medical-Engineering Hybrid Professional Development Program

Yoshiyuki Tanaka


The Medical - Engineering Hybrid program is targeted to raise professionals with a high level of expertise in both Medical and Engineering, I wish to do my best in contributing to this from my standpoint as an engineer. There is undoubtedly need for knowledge in both medicine and engineering in order to be able to actively research and develop such as new medical instruments. With the establishment of this course and nurturing of outstanding Hybrid Medics, in the near future we hope to see innovation in such as medical instruments gaining worldwide attention from here in Nagasaki.
