The lab creates new measurement methods with nanomaterials to capture life phenomena that could not be seen before.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing the unseen in life with new measurement principles.
Yasui Lab researches the creation of new measurement principles from chemistry.
Building on nanomaterials and nanodevices, the lab develops methods to observe life at the level of molecules and tiny particles.
It is developing the technologies obtained this way into diagnostics that lead to early detection of disease.
The lab is located within the School of Engineering at Nagoya University.
Key terms
- Nanowire
- A long, thin, needle-like material with a thickness on the order of nanometers (one millionth of a millimeter)
- Exosome
- A very small sac released by cells. It is a type of extracellular vesicle that wraps and carries nucleic acids and proteins
- Liquid biopsy
- A test that examines body fluids such as blood or urine to learn the state of a disease without cutting into the body

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to create new measurement principles from chemistry and to capture life phenomena that have been difficult to observe until now. It carries out everything as one continuous flow, from developing measurement technologies to elucidating life phenomena and applying them to diagnostics and medicine.
*Illustrative imageCreating New Measurement Principles
Based on chemistry and nanomaterials, the lab develops measurement principles and measurement devices. By designing and controlling functional nanomaterials such as nanowires, it makes it possible to observe life phenomena that conventional methods could not capture.
*Illustrative imageElucidating Life Phenomena
Using the measurement technologies it has developed, the lab analyzes life phenomena at the level of molecules and tiny particles. Focusing on particles such as extracellular vesicles (exosomes), it clarifies the variability of these phenomena and how they change over time.
*Illustrative imageApplications to Diagnostics and Medicine
Based on the measurement technologies it has created, the lab develops diagnostic technologies that lead to early detection of disease and a better understanding of disease states. Through applications such as liquid biopsy, it extends the results of basic research to medicine and industry.
