Gaku Fukuhara, Professor
0 student voices
The Functional Materials Interdisciplinary Chemistry Lab studies photofunctional soft materials with an eye toward cancer diagnosis and treatment. The lab develops pressure-sensitive soft materials that read out the pressure applied to cells (acoustic waves) as molecular luminescence, as well as sensors that detect cancer-related substances with high sensitivity. New photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy are also a subject of its research. On the lab’s website, it is introduced under the name “Fukuhara Lab.”

The Biomaterials Engineering Lab studies the design of soft polymer biomaterials with excellent biocompatibility for diagnosis and treatment. To understand at the molecular level how biocompatibility arises, the lab focuses on water molecules in the environment where a material meets biological components, and has proposed the “intermediate water concept.” The research falls into three broad areas: design, synthesis, and functional control of polymers; analysis of the structure and properties of bio-interfaces; and analysis of interactions between cells and materials. On the lab’s website, it is introduced under the name “Masaru Tanaka Lab.”

Shigenori Fujikawa, Professor

The Fujikawa Lab studies nanomaterials for making full use of atmospheric carbon dioxide and sunlight. The lab regards these, which are available anywhere on Earth, as “ubiquitous” sources of carbon and energy. By developing materials whose size and structure are designed from the molecular level to the nanoscale, it aims to open up a new field called carbon-neutral chemistry.

Satoru Kidoaki, Professor

To broaden the foundations of regenerative medical engineering, the Medical Biophysical Chemistry Lab approaches research from two sides: the engineering of materials that control cells, and the biophysics of cells. Using mechanobiology, which studies how cells and tissues respond to their mechanical environment, as a starting point, the lab creates biomaterials that control cell behavior. The lab also studies, from a physical chemistry perspective, how biopolymers such as DNA and proteins assemble, and it researches the control of cell functions using glycopolymers. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Kidoaki Lab."
Tetsuya Nakanishi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ore Deposit Geology Lab (Nakanishi Lab) studies ore deposits, based on trace element analysis of rocks using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Applying the background and research methods of ore deposit geology and resources engineering to the history of technology, the lab scientifically verifies the historical mining and smelting technologies of mines in Japan. Overseas, the lab is studying orogenic gold deposits in Mongolia and porphyry copper deposits in northeastern Cambodia. Associate Professor Tetsuya Nakanishi belongs to the University Museum and holds a concurrent appointment in the Department of Earth Resources Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering.
