Development of the Collaborations with the Japan

09/01/2014

The activity of the CNRS team of Thrombus (partner 1) with the University of Tohoku in Japan has been initiated in 2012 through the ELyT Laboratory (Engineering and Science Lyon Tohoku Laboratory).

ELyt Lab. is a LIA, an international laboratory which is supported by the CNRS, INSA Lyon, ECL and the University of Tohoku (http://www.elyt-lab.com/). The topics covered by this LIA are mainly linked to the INSIS Institute (Institute for Engineering and Systems Sciences).

To date the Thrombus team pilots a research which concerns the blood flow analysis within the cavity of aneurysms when deploying several endovascular coils. This research concerns the Bioscience & Engineering field of ELyt Laboratory and the project F6- Endovascular Coil Interaction within Intracranial Aneurysms, EC2IA (Project leaders: COURBEBAISSE Guy & NAKAYAMA Toshio; guy.courbebaisse@insa-lyon.fr & nakayama@biofluid.ifs.tohoku.ac.jp).

This research is complementary to the main study of Thrombus which concerns the specific endovascular prosthesis named ‘Flow Diverter’. This collaboration is also reinforced by the collaboration of the partner UNIGE of Thrombus (partner 2). The research concerns the elaboration of the concept of virtual optimized stent.

This involvement has led to the participation to a first ELyT Lab. workshop in Japan in February 2013. The next workshop will be organized in France in February 2014.

In the continuity of this collaboration, conferences have been given by UNIGE and CNRS as invited speakers to the ICFD 2012 and ICFD 2013 (http://www.ifs.tohoku.ac.jp/icfd2013).

The future challenge will be to answer to an international call proposed by the European Commission through the HORIZON 2020 program (http://www.ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020).
