Kitamoto Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that builds devices supporting medicine using nanosized magnets.
AboutAbout the lab
Supporting medicine with tiny magnets too small to see.
The Kitamoto Lab studies the magnetic phenomena exhibited by magnetic materials of nanometer size.
Small magnets and magnetic phenomena support people's lives and health in electronic devices such as hard disks and in medical settings.
Working with nanoparticles and structures fabricated at the nanoscale, the lab aims to create magnetic device technologies that enable life innovation.
Making magnetic materials and understanding magnetic phenomena require many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and electrical engineering.
Key terms
- Magnetic nanoparticles
- Magnetic materials of nanometer size, which show magnetic phenomena specific to this size
- Drug delivery system
- A mechanism for delivering a drug to a targeted site in the body
- Biodegradable polymers
- Polymers that gradually break down in the body or in nature

ResearchResearch themes
While working to understand magnetic phenomena in nanometer-sized magnetic materials, the lab aims to create magnetic device technologies that enable life innovation. It addresses how to understand and how to use magnets so small that they cannot be seen.
*Illustrative imageMagnetically Guided Drug Delivery Systems
The lab works on drug delivery systems that use magnetic capsules to guide drugs to target sites by means of magnetism.
*Illustrative imageMultifunctional Beads for Diagnosis and Therapy
The lab makes beads that combine magnetic and optical properties, aiming to use them for diagnosis and treatment.
*Illustrative imageAssemblies Using Biodegradable Polymers
The lab creates new assemblies that gather magnetic nanoparticles using biodegradable polymers, and works on controlling and functionalizing the structure of these assemblies.
*Illustrative imageSynthesis of Porous and Hollow Carriers
The lab synthesizes porous structures with many fine pores, as well as carriers with hollow interiors.
