Bio-Machine Fusion Wet Robotics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that builds soft biological machines from cells.
AboutAbout the lab
Soft biological machines built from cells.
The Bio-Machine Fusion Wet Robotics Lab studies biological machine systems, with biology and micromachines as its keywords.
Its foundational technologies are bio-MEMS, microfluidic control, and microfabrication.
The lab has worked on the design, basic experiments, and proof of principle of soft microactuators driven by cardiac muscle cells.
The lab aims at manufacturing that creates new value in biomedical applications, health checkups, environmental analysis, agri-bio, pharmaceuticals, and the mobility business.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Morishima Lab.”
Key terms
- MEMS
- Tiny mechanical systems made by microfabrication. They are widely used, from automobiles to household appliances.
- Microactuator
- A component that produces tiny movements. This lab is working to realize soft ones driven by cardiac muscle cells.
- Mechano-bionic system
- A biological machine system that uses cells as its material. This lab has developed one that runs on only a supply of glucose and oxygen.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab has proposed methods for building tiny biological machine systems by reconstructing cells and biological tissue and stacking cells. It conceived the idea of directly incorporating the functions of organisms and cells into artificial systems, in order to realize devices with self-repair functions and biological machine systems with high biocompatibility.
