◆Overview of Gunma University Interfaculty Initiative in Regulatory Science ofBiomedical Science and Engineering

This interfaculty initiative is a master's program organized in close collaboration and cooperation between
Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine and Gunma University Graduate School of Science andTechnology, as a basic organization for the delivery of inter-graduate school programs. Based oninterdisciplinary collaboration in heavy ion beam medical science and engineering at the University, the initiative
was established with the aim of fostering researchers and educators with leadership skills who can
independently conduct interdisciplinary research across the fields of biomedical science, medical science andtreatment, and science and engineering as well as highly skilled professionals who can respond to the needsof society.
The University has conducted research on the development of new medical technologies and devices throughthe Gunma University Medical Innovation Project, building a foundation of education and research concerning
medical engineering. Thus, the project will be incorporated in the education provided by the initiative as well.
The program combined with regulatory science is expected to foster human resources capable ofcommercializing new medical technologies and devices at medical device manufacturers. As the space system
industry expands, it will also nurture talents capable of contributing to the development of electronic devices
at space system-related research institutions from the perspective of regulatory science and even produce
experts with a broad perspective who will enable humans to be active in space systems.
Furthermore, the initiative will cultivate human resources capable of developing new accelerators for heavy
ion radiotherapy, such as innovatively power-saving, compact accelerators equipped with a fifth-generation laser
accelerator and superconducting gantry, as well as non-destructive testing methods for social infrastructure
facilities that utilize this technology.
As such, the initiative is fundamentally intended for providing education on medical physics and radiobiology
related to heavy ion radiotherapy, but at the same time, it will provide education that combines medicine andscience/engineering with the aim of developing and implementing in society new medical technologies anddevices, implementing in society innovative nuclear and fusion technologies, developing holistic and emergent
theories concerning space systems, and creating innovative accelerator technologies.
