Biosensing
Research Group
Research Outline
Aiming to industrialize biosensing technologies that visualize health status, we conduct a wide range of research and development from basic to applied studies, focusing on highly sensitive biomolecular detection, biochips, and single-cell analysis technologies.
Research Introduction
Development of Measurement Technologies and Evaluation Platforms for the Biotechnology Field
We have been establishing the measurement systems for biological substances, mainly blood. We approach from variable perspectives like biochemistry, molecular biology, analytical chemistry and physics. In addition, legal regulation is one of the important point for development of in vitro diagnostics products, and we also provide consulting on the regulation. Recently, AI is used for data analysis to obtain results in our large data. Our goal is to establish highly sensitive and functional biological measurement methods from various academic fields.
