Business Utilizing Odor Quantification Technology Based on Olfactory Receptor Responses
By utilizing DNA as a functional organic material, we are developing a “DNA linker technology” that enables precise conjugation of antibodies with drugs and functional molecules, alongside related applications such as cell adhesion and enzyme-free nucleic acid detection. Our unique molecular design enhances the performance and multifunctionality of diverse materials, establishing foundational technologies for ADC drug development, 3D cell models, and diagnostic platforms. Furthermore, we expand these technologies into research support and collaborative R&D to accelerate industrial application and societal implementation.
Cerebro Pharma was established in 2020 as an Osaka-based bio-venture with the mission to create a society free of dementia. We focus on research and development of healthcare products and pharmaceuticals specializing in the prevention and improvement of dementia and neurodegenerative diseases, and actively promote collaborative projects with major domestic pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions.
With more than 30 years of experience in developing tactile and sensory measurement technologies, Jun Wada founded Hapquitous in 2023 upon turning 60. Guided by the mission of “bringing the potential of sensation and perception to anyone, anywhere,” Hapquitous developed Pain Compass®, a novel device based on the Thermal Grill Illusion (TGI). The system provides a three-minute assessment that objectively evaluates stress-related hypersensitivity in the brain and visualizes presenteeism—conditions that typically remain hidden in the workplace. Hapquitous offers an integrated solution that connects measurement → intervention (acupuncture, exercise, psychological support) → follow-up assessment, enabling early detection and improvement of employee well-being. Hapquitous is currently conducting collaborative research with ten institutions, including Kyoto Tachibana University, Kio University, and the University of Tokyo School of Medicine.
A startup developing medical devices that diagnose and treat sleep-disordered breathing using non-contact sensing and digital signal processing technology. We provide a new sleep monitoring solution that requires no wearable devices, minimizes burden, and respects privacy.
