WHAT WE DO

FIELDWORKERS Co., Ltd. is a startup spun off from Nagasaki University's Institute of Tropical Medicine, specialising in developing products and services to combat medically important arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks.

The Institute of Tropical Medicine at Nagasaki University is Japan's only existing public research institute that has continuously conducted infectious disease research since 1942, pursuing solutions to infectious disease challenges. Their time-honoured wisdom in field research of tropical medicine is amongst the world's finest. Building upon this heritage, our company incorporates new technologies and renovates research techniques and equipment. We aim to become a Japanese enterprise that can proudly contribute to the global fight against infectious diseases transmitted by disease-carrying insects worldwide.

PRODUCTS

We have been challenging ourselves to innovate field survey tools and research equipment using 3D printers. Many of the tools used for insect collection, specimen preparation, and specimen observation are classic, but our tools offer a slightly different feel and lead to problem solving.
