Yamamoto Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies biodevices that identify microorganisms using microfabrication and machine learning.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on bio in the ultra-small world, and going beyond bio
The Yamamoto Lab studies bio-nanodevices made with microfabrication technology and their application to biosensors and healthcare devices.
The lab builds sensors that read the changes in electrical signals as viruses and bacteria flow through nanochannels, and uses machine learning to identify which type they are.
The lab also works on biomimetics, which creates new devices by imitating nanostructures found in living organisms.
Key terms
- Nanochannel
- A liquid pathway made with a width on the nanometer scale, far thinner than a human hair
- Machine learning
- A technology in which a computer learns rules from large amounts of data and uses them to identify or predict things
- Biomimetics
- A field that draws inspiration from the structures and functions of living organisms, and from how they make things, to create new technologies and manufacturing methods

Building on bio-nanodevices made with microfabrication technology, the lab is advancing their application to biosensors and healthcare devices. It also works on making devices that take advantage of the properties of nanostructures found in living organisms.
*Illustrative imageBiosensors that identify microorganisms
The lab detects viruses and bacteria by reading the changes in electrical signals as they flow through nanochannels, and uses machine learning to identify their type. It is also developing devices that measure microorganisms floating in the air.
*Illustrative imageManufacturing inspired by living organisms
The lab creates new technologies using the structures and functions of living organisms as models. One example is a transparent surface that reflects almost no light, imitating the nanostructure of a moth's eye.
