In the research field, medical, science, and engineering technology are working together to achieve creating whole new medical system industry. The research covers wide range of field such as systems for surgery and medical treatment, rehabilitation, and wellness and sports science. In education field within graduate course, we execute advanced field merging career education by creating and implementing a curriculum which involves wellness science, pharmaceutical legislation, and medical science. In community coordination field, we are focusing working on enlightening activities by introducing state-of-the-art technologies to industrial engineers through joint research, lectures, and conferences. At the same time, we are pursuing coordination with Aomori Industrial Association and local government which could become an advanced community of domestic fundamental industrial conversion by creating medical system industry to local community.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"box_center\">\n<div class=\"center_photo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/outline\/data\/img_facility-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"center_photo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/outline\/data\/img_facility-3-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"176\" \/><span style=\"width: 123px;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"center_photo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/outline\/data\/img_facility-3-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"190\" height=\"176\" \/><span style=\"width: 193px;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"facility-3\">Cold Regions Meteorology Laboratory<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"boxLink add_margin_btm10\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/~earth_metlab\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cold Regions Meteorology Laboratory (Japanese)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"inner_contents02 add_margin_btm40\">\nThe Cold Regions Meteorology Laboratory was established in 1988, to understand meteorology of Northern Japan, such as heavy snow and cool summers, and study prevention of such meteorological disasters.
