Research Experience
2011 Apr. – 2014 Mar. Senior and master's student, Tokyo University of Science, Department of Applied Physics (Dr. Umemura Kazuo lab.)
I applied nanoporous and homogeneous biosilica (frustule) to adsorb dispersed carbon nanotubes in an aqueous solution, and elucidated the mechanism of the effective adsorption of frustule.
2011 Sep. – 2014 Mar. Research associate, Institute of Advanced Biomedical Engineering and Science, Tokyo Women's Medical University (TWIns) (Material team, Dr. Okano Teruo and Dr. Kumashiro Yoshikazu)
I fabricated temperature-responsive surface for recovering cell sheet by Langmuir-Schaefer method. In this method, the strength, rate, and quality of cell adhesion and detachment on the surface can be controlled, and cell sheets of various cells were recovered.
2014 Apr. – 2017 Mar. Ph.D. student, Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo (Dr. Higuchi Hideo lab.)
I evaluated the therapeutic effects of new therapy (IR700) in brain tumor cells and invented a method for evaluating viability of damaged cells by motility of vesicle observed by a phase contrast microscope. The interaction between tumor cells and phagocytic cells was also evaluated, and this project started from April 2016.
2017 Apr. – 2019 Mar. Project researcher, Departure of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo (Dr. Hiroyuki Noji lab.)
High active enzyme, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), was directly evolved by using the super-arrayed femto-liter chamber.
