Nano-Biodevice International Collaboration Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the interface between nanomaterials and cells.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the interface between nanomaterials and cells.
The Nano-Biodevice International Collaboration Lab is a unit in the Soft Materials Division of the Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering.
Professor Kaoru Tamada creates new functional materials through the self-assembly of molecules and nanoparticles and studies their application to biosensing.
Associate Professor Yusuke Arima aims to control the functions of cells and tissues using surface chemistry methods and to measure biomolecules.
Because the lab's own page does not describe its research, this introduction is based on the university's researcher information and the page of the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science.
Key terms
- Self-assembly
- The process by which molecules or nanoparticles gather on their own to form an ordered structure
- Surface plasmon
- A phenomenon in which electrons on a metal surface oscillate collectively in response to light
- Perovskite nanocrystal
- A nanometer-sized crystal with a crystal structure known as perovskite
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates interactions at the interface where artificial materials meet living systems, aiming to control cell functions and measure biomolecules. It also works on creating new functional materials through the self-assembly of molecules and nanoparticles and applying them to biosensing.
*Illustrative imageInteractions between artificial materials and cells
To build a foundation for controlling cells and tissues with artificial materials, the lab analyzes interactions between artificial materials and living systems. It also observes the interface where cells attach, using sheets of metal nanoparticles.
*Illustrative imageControlling cell function by modifying the cell surface
The lab aims to establish techniques for altering cell function by modifying cell surfaces with bioactive substances. Its research themes also include controlling cell-cell interactions through cell surface modification.
*Illustrative imageMeasurement technologies for biomolecules
The lab develops technologies for measuring biomolecules. Biosensing using surface plasmons is one of its research themes.
*Illustrative imageSelf-assembly of nanomaterials and devices
The lab draws out new properties through the self-assembly of molecules and nanoparticles, and pursues applied research such as biosensing and green devices. It also works on device applications in optics and energy, such as the self-assembly of perovskite nanocrystals.
