Research DX

Creating the Future of Research Through Digital Transformation

By digitalizing and automating research processes, we dramatically improve research efficiency and accelerate new scientific discoveries.

Three Pillars of Research DX

🤖

Automation

Automating experimental processes reduces human error and creates an environment where researchers can focus on more creative activities

📊

Data-Driven

Real-time data collection with IoT sensors and advanced analytics using machine learning to discover new insights

🔗

Collaboration

Seamless knowledge sharing and efficient collaboration between researchers through digital platforms

Current Projects

IoT Environmental Logging System

Automated Environmental Data Collection & Visualization

24/7 automated monitoring of temperature, humidity, pressure, and CO2 levels. Anomaly detection significantly improves research reproducibility and safety.

Digital Lab Notebook

Digitization & Searchability of Research Records

Transitioning from handwritten notes dramatically improves searchability and shareability of research data. Timestamp features ensure complete research trail management.

  • Integrated management of voice, images, and video
  • Full-text search functionality
  • Version control system
  • Instant sharing with collaborators

Lab Management DX Support

Efficient New Lab Setup Support

Comprehensive support for digitalizing lab operations for new PIs. Maximizing research productivity with the latest tools and efficient workflows.

  • Digital tool selection and implementation
  • Workflow optimization
  • Data management system setup
  • Member training programs

NLP Research Matching

AI-Powered Collaborative Research Facilitation

AI analyzes research content to automatically suggest optimal collaborators and funding opportunities. Efficiently promoting interdisciplinary research connections.

  • Automatic research content classification
  • Similar researcher recommendations
  • Research funding optimization
  • Collaboration with Tohoku University HQ

Research Paper Newsletter

Automated Collection, Translation & Distribution

Automatically collects papers related to specified keywords from Crossref, arXiv, bioRxiv, and ChemRxiv. AI-generated summaries and translations help researchers efficiently stay updated on research trends.

Research Grant Recommendation System

LLM-Based Automatic Grant Filtering

Automatically filters research grant opportunities based on researchers' specialties and interests. Large language models select and notify highly relevant grants every Tuesday and Friday.

Research Data Archive System

Automated Data Preservation & Timestamping

Automatically calculates hash values (SHA-256) for research data and provides simple timestamping. Fully automated prevention of data tampering and ensuring research integrity.

  • SHA-256 data integrity assurance
  • Automatic ZIP compression & RAID storage
  • Email-based timestamp functionality
  • Automated research misconduct prevention
