معرفی
TAKETOMI Shuji serves as a Lecturer at the Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, specializing in orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine with clinical focus on knee surgery and sports injury prevention.
His research integrates mechanobiology, synovial-cartilage interactions, and artificial intelligence to investigate joint homeostasis, osteoarthritis progression, and sports injury mechanisms. Key methodologies include kinematic analysis, single-cell expression profiling, and collagen 3D bioprinting for tissue engineering.
Dr. Taketomi leads and collaborates on multiple Japanese Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research projects:
- Principal Investigator: Joint aging mechanisms (2024-2026), chronic pain analysis in joint diseases (2022-2024), collagen 3D-printed bone/cartilage implants (2020-2023)
- Co-Investigator: AI-driven sports injury prevention (2023-2025), synovium-cartilage homeostasis (2023-2025), macrophage roles in synovial tissue (2023-2025), knee kinematics prediction systems (2023-2025)
His work bridges biomechanical engineering and clinical orthopaedics, with emerging applications in AI-powered diagnostic tools and regenerative medicine approaches for joint preservation.
