RESEARCH DETAILS
We are conducting research on microfabrication and micromanipulation technology for micro soft materials based on micro-/nano-engineering. We are exploring applications for single-cell/single-molecule analysis, stimulation and response measurement of individual cells/biopolymers, and control/modification of cell functions. These make it possible to obtain knowledge that could not be obtained by conventional research methods, and is expected to contribute to the basic life sciences and medical fields.
