中野教授が令和8年度秋の紫綬褒章を受章

中野貴由教授が2026年11月3日に令和8年度秋の紫綬褒章を受章しました。『材料工学研究功績: 異方性材料学の構築』が受章対象となりました。
【業績概要】材料工学的観点から、異方性／等方性を基軸とする異方性材料学ともいうべき学理を構築し、航空宇宙材料から生体材料へと研究領域を拡張するとともに、耐熱性チタンアルミ系化合物の力学特性の解明、生体骨基質配向化機構の解明、金属積層造形による材質制御の指針の解明、最終的には世界初・日本発の金属積層造形製骨基質脊椎椎体間スペーサーの社会実装を達成した。医歯薬工の融合分野において基礎と応用の両面からの顕著な業績とともに、製造業・製造プロセスの発展、さらには学術界の発展に多大な貢献を果たしたものであり、その功績はまことに顕著である。

Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S) has been adopted.

A new Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S) has been adopted. The research period is five years, from 2018 to 2022, and the total direct cost is 148.8 million yen (total cost 193.44 million yen). Dr. Nakano will be the principal investigator of the project, which will focus on the construction of a new science for the induction of bone anisotropy. In addition to the Nakano Lab staff, the research team will include Takuya Matsumoto, Professor of Dentistry, Okayama University; Tsuyoshi Murase, Associate Professor of Medicine, Osaka University; Koji Sakai, Professor of Medicine, Yamaguchi University; Mitsuyo Tudai, Associate Professor, Niihama National College of Technology; Eiji Fukuda, Assistant Professor, Yuge National College of Commerce; and Mariko Yamamoto, Professor, Kansai Women's Junior College. All of us in the research group will work together to achieve results that exceed our research expenses. We look forward to your guidance and support.

Prof. Nakano was awarded JSPS Prize, and became an honorary professor (title) in 2018.

Prof. Takayoshi Nakano has received the 8th Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Award (2011). The award was given for his multidisciplinary research on bone microstructure and bone substitute materials from the viewpoint of materials engineering.
