The research group officially launched its collaborative efforts with the University of Tsukuba and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan. The kickoff meeting focused on expanding joint research in high-entropy and superelastic Ti-based alloys for biomedical use. Discussions also included shared laboratory access, student exchange opportunities, and co-authored publications.

This partnership builds on previously funded projects and marks a significant step forward in international cooperation for advanced biomaterials research.​
