Emergent Measurement Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates new measurement methods from chemistry to capture life phenomena that were previously invisible.
AboutAbout the lab
Capturing unseen life through new measurement.
The lab aims to advance understanding of how living systems work by creating new measurement principles and technologies based on chemistry.
Using nanomaterials and nanodevices, it develops methods to observe life at the level of molecules and minute particles.
It also works to apply its findings to diagnosis and medicine, including the social implementation of technology for detecting cancer risk early.
Its members come from fields such as chemistry, materials science, medicine, and information science, and take on new research without being bound by disciplinary boundaries.
Key terms
- Nanowire
- A very thin, wire-like material with a thickness on the order of nanometers (billionths of a meter)
- Exosome
- A tiny sac-like particle released by cells. It contains molecules derived from the cell
- Liquid biopsy
- A testing method that examines body fluids such as blood or urine to find clues to disease

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to create new measurement principles from chemistry, capture life phenomena that have been difficult to observe, and greatly advance understanding of biological functions. Using measurement technologies based on nanomaterials and nanodevices, it pursues research that brings new perspectives to life science and medicine.
*Illustrative imageCreating New Measurement Principles
Based on chemistry and nanomaterials, the lab develops new measurement principles and 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 imageUnderstanding Life through Exosomes
Using the measurement technologies it has developed, the lab investigates life phenomena at the level of molecules and minute particles. It focuses in particular on extracellular vesicles (exosomes), and aims to reveal the variability and time-dependent changes of life phenomena.
*Illustrative imageApplications to Diagnosis and Medicine
Building on the measurement technologies it has created, the lab develops diagnostic technologies that lead to early disease detection and a better understanding of disease states. Through applications such as liquid biopsy, it extends its research results to medicine and industry.
