The lab combines optics, fluid dynamics, and information science to create new biotechnologies.
AboutAbout the lab
Making chance discoveries happen by design.
The Goda Lab practices "serendipity engineering," which aims to generate lucky, chance discoveries in a planned way.
It integrates biochemistry, photon science, nanotechnology, microfluidics, robotics, and information science.
Using this integration, the lab creates new biotechnologies, aiming to discover unknown biological phenomena and to apply them in industry and medicine.
Built on a foundation of physics and chemistry, the lab's research combines theory, experiments, and computation.
Key terms
- Serendipity
- An unexpected, fortunate event. It appears often throughout the history of scientific discovery.
- Microfluidics
- Technology that creates channels as thin as a human hair to handle very small amounts of liquid or cells.
- Exosome
- A tiny vesicle that cells release to the outside. It carries its contents to other cells.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab integrates biochemistry, photon science, nanotechnology, microfluidics, robotics, and information science to create new biotechnologies. Using these technologies, it aims to discover unknown biological phenomena, elucidate their functions, and open up applications that lead to industry and medicine.
*Illustrative imageAnti-Aging Engineering
The lab focuses on super exosomes that can achieve rejuvenation, and works on developing technologies to counter aging.
*Illustrative imageDrug Discovery with Drosophila
Using Drosophila (fruit flies), the lab develops a platform for fast, high-precision, low-cost drug discovery screening, and is expanding its applications.
*Illustrative imageCell Selection with Imaging and AI
The lab combines high-speed fluid imaging, cell sorting chips, and artificial intelligence to select and sort cells, and applies this to biology, pharmacology, and medicine.
*Illustrative imageQuantum Bioengineering
The lab studies quantum effects that occur in biomolecules (such as coherence, entanglement, and tunneling), and works on developing and applying quantum biotechnologies that mimic them.
