Kyushu University Hospital has newly established a Center for the Integration of Advanced Medicine and Innovative Technology (CAMIT) as a development center for highly advanced medicine and a place to manufacture and clinically develop leading state-of-the-art engineering basic technologies in April 2002. Its main objectives are the clinical application of surgical robots, nano-robots and regenerative medicine. The industrial-academic and the medical-engineering cooperation has thus become much closer. The first comprehensive training center in Japan for robotic surgery will be established within a year. We hope that the most advanced minimally invasive surgery techniques can thus become widespread throughout the world, by establishing a worldwide Center of Excellenxe (COE) for education, research and development. |

The Kyushu University Center for the Integration of Advanced Medicine and Innovative Technology (CAMIT) has been approved as the first domestic development center for highly advanced medicine and the latest advances in the treatment by robotic surgery, by the Japanese Ministry of education, culture, sports, science and technology (MEXT) in 2002.
The research, results and studies underway at this institution are supported by a MEXT research fund grant, Research for future programs in Japanese society for the promotion of science, a MHLW science research fund grant (Research for cancer strategies ) and
the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Key Technology Promotion program etc.
We would like to express our gratitude to all of these organizations.
