Hiroshi Kumigashira, Professor
0 student voices
The Scanning Probe Measurement Technology Lab studies the relationship between atomic arrangement and electrical properties, mainly in two-dimensional layered materials such as molybdenum disulfide. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which can observe materials at the level of single atoms and molecules, the lab investigates how crystal defects and edge structures affect the way electric current flows. Building on these findings, the lab is developing highly sensitive molecular detection devices. The lab also works on controlling the adsorption and diffusion of molecules on surfaces at the nanoscale in order to manipulate chemical reactions.

The Nano Functional Materials Chemistry Lab (Kumigashira Lab) designs and controls the physical properties of oxides in order to develop new functional nanomaterials. The lab pursues its research by combining, at a high level, oxide molecular beam epitaxy for “making” and high-brilliance synchrotron radiation for “observing.” The lab is a research division of the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, Tohoku University, and is located on the Katahira Campus.
Hitoshi Kasai, Professor (Concurrent)

The Nano/Micro Analytical Chemistry Lab studies chemical phenomena that occur in tiny spaces on the scale of nanometers and micrometers, as well as analytical chemistry that makes use of those spaces. The lab fabricates its own experimental devices by microfabrication and handles minute amounts of liquid and tiny water droplets. Its work includes analyzing the process by which proteins form fibrils, bioanalysis using tiny water droplets, and developing portable analytical instruments. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name “Hibara Lab.”
Yuichi Negishi, Professor

The Precision Inorganic Materials Chemistry Lab (Negishi Lab) studies materials such as metal nanoclusters with a precisely defined number of atoms. Its review articles cover reactions that convert carbon dioxide and nitrate using electrocatalysts, catalysts for organic reactions, and applications in luminescence and sensing. The lab's website provides a form for students who wish to apply for a lab visit. The official page of the Department of Chemistry lists the lab's professor as a graduate school faculty member (cooperating chair).
Hitoshi Miyasaka, Professor

The Physical Chemistry of Metal Complexes Lab designs multidimensional lattices based on metal complexes and works to develop new molecular materials. The lab aims to freely control electrons and spins on the lattice, as well as the transport of ions and substances within the lattice space. Focusing on converting chemical interactions into physical responses in a defined direction, the lab aims to put forward new proposals for near-future molecular materials.

The Organic and Bio-Nanomaterials Lab (Kasai Lab) at the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials covers a wide range of research themes, from the fabrication of organic nanoparticles to nanomedicines, organic batteries, catalysts, and CO2 separation materials. One line of research creates anticancer nanomedicines and nano eye drops and investigates their pharmacological effects. The lab also studies environmentally friendly organic batteries, organic solid catalysts intended as alternatives to precious metals, sustainable hydrogen production and storage from biomass, and highly durable CO2 separation materials.
Fumi Nagatsugi, Professor

The Synthetic Chemistry of Biofunctional Molecules research group (Nagatsugi Lab) designs and synthesizes functional molecules based on organic chemistry, and aims to develop methods for chemically controlling gene expression. With the goal of chemical biology, which unravels the life sciences through chemistry, the lab develops chemical tools to control and elucidate gene expression inside cells. Its listed research keywords include organic synthesis, nucleic acid chemistry (the chemistry of DNA and RNA), antisense, miRNA, RNA-targeted drug discovery, supramolecular chemistry, and photocatalysis.
Eriko Nango, Professor

The Nango Lab uses quantum beams such as X-ray free-electron lasers, synchrotron radiation, and electron beams to visualize the chemical and structural changes that occur inside proteins. Proteins are the molecules that underpin biological phenomena, and their three-dimensional structures are closely tied to their functions. The lab seeks to clarify the switching mechanisms of light-responsive proteins and the reaction mechanisms of enzymes that catalyze unique reactions. Based on the precise structural information obtained, the lab aims for the rational design of protein molecules and the creation of molecules with new functions.
Satoshi Takahashi, Professor

The Biomolecular Dynamics Lab conducts experimental research to clarify the mechanisms by which proteins fold into specific structures. A protein is a polymer made of amino acids strung together like beads, and it performs its function by folding into a defined structure. Using original experimental instruments, the lab takes on the "protein folding problem," which asks why proteins can fold almost without error in such a short time. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Takahashi (Satoshi) Lab."
Shin Mizukami, Professor

The Mizukami Lab (Cell Functional Molecular Chemistry) uses organic chemistry as its foundation to elucidate a wide range of biological phenomena and to control biological functions. The lab's stated aim is to rationally design functional molecules and apply them to the observation and control of biological functions. Its work includes visualizing biomolecular dynamics inside cells, controlling molecular functions in cells and in living organisms with light, and elucidating protein functions and developing new functional proteins.
