Diagnostic Technology
Research Group

Research Outline

We promote research and development of in vitro diagnostic technologies for cancer, infectious diseases, and other conditions through cell handling that leverages nano- and microdevice technologies, a core strength of the Shikoku Center.

Research Introduction

Development of Diagnostic Technologies for Cancer, Infectious Diseases, etc. utilizing Nano/micro-device technologies

Our research activity aims to establish extracorporeal diagnostic technologies for cancer, infectious diseases, etc. utilizing cell handling techniques based on the nano/micro-device technology which is the strong point of AIST Shikoku.
