- We are aiming on keeping our lives from toxic and hazardous substances in our surroundings, and focus on the development of Bio/environmental sensors by means of interdisciplinary research, such as combination of microfluidics, material science, electrochemistry, mechanical engineering and so on.
- Living organisms are affected by chronic exposure to chemicals even in very low concentration. The environmental samples, e.g. ground water, contains a number of pollutants which cause disruption in eco-system. Effective monitoring of chemicals in environmental samples and determination of the moment of abnormal behavior of living organism require highly sensitive and accurate sensors with simple sample pretreatment.
- Our group is conducting research to realize them by integration of different components from various disciplines.
Biosensor, Microfluidics: separation and pre-concentration of target substances

Split flow chip for capillary electrophoresis

Free flow isotachophoresis for target enrichment
Material science/Biology: target selective probes, biomimetic 3-D cell culture

Target selective probes (e. g. MIP approach)

3D liver cell culturing in microfluidic environment
Electrochemistry: highly sensitive detection system

Electrochemiluminescence spectrometer
