New video “Eliminating the Long Waiting List for Organ Transplants with Pig Cloning” by Hiroshi Nagashima is released at “Incredible Senseis at Meiji University,” a video series showcasing Meiji’s world-class research
2024.12.03
Meiji University creates a series of promotional videos, “Incredible Senseis at Meiji University,” and a landing page to tell the world about its research, which leads the field not only at home in Japan but also abroad. Using English-language narration and subtitles in English and Japanese, the new video introduces the work of Hiroshi Nagashima, School of Agriculture.
The video makes the result of our university’s cutting-edge research, which aims to contribute to society, easily accessible to and engaging for a broad general audience, rather than simply to other researchers. They combine animation and explanations by the researchers themselves, paired with catchy music and narration to create highly ingenious and attractive movies.

Hope for Organ Transplant Patients through Cloning Technology!
An organ transplant may be the only option, but what if a donor can’t be found? Incurable genetic diseases may need research, but what if there are few cases to study? Professor Hiroshi Nagashima is at the forefront of research that could overcome such hurdles with groundbreaking animal cloning technology, with the aim of creating transplantable organs for use in humans. Learn more about this heroic, life-saving research.
Hiroshi Nagashima, Ph.D.
Professor, School of Agriculture
Director, Meiji University International Institute for Bio-Resource Research
Hiroshi Nagashima has been pursuing research related to the use of genetically engineered and cloned pigs, with the aim of regenerating organs to overcome severe and incurable diseases.
