Our motto is to devote ourselves to making the best of optical imaging techniques that are considered as a Hamamatsu privilege because we can collaborate with Hamamatsu Photonics KK a world leader of optical technology and to nurturing young people to make them professionals in sciences with optical imaging. With the state-of-the-art technology such as brain PET, quantitative optical spectroscopy and multimodal MRI, we continue to perform basic and clinical experiments for unraveling the pathophysiology of brain diseases, hoping that our efforts would eventually pay off in discovery of any treatment and prevention of diseases. Above all, we work energetically to tackle urgent social problems (mental illnesses in young and middle-aged adults, geriatric dementia) in this rapidly changing society with low birth rate and prolonged longevity. In these processes, we also think it important to collaborate and discuss with specialists beyond research domains. We are sure that our every effort with the Hamamatsu optical technology allows us to make human welfare and peace established sometime in the future.
