Alumnus of the Tohoku University Wander-Vogel Club (TUWV).
I reached Cape Shiretoko, one of the most challenging areas in Japan (2024).
In my research, I aspire to witness the views that can only be appreciated by those who have overcome challenges.

・Shohei Yanagita, Masataka Nikaido, Kenichi Funamoto. "Evaluation of Effects of Cyclic Hypoxia on Vascular Permeability Using Microfluidic Device", Proceedings of 17th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Nano/Molecular Medicine & Engineering 2024, pp. 100-103, Dec 2024, DOI: 10.1109/NANOMED64244.2024.10946031.
The main research interest is to reproduce in vivo developmental process at multiscale levels in vitro or in silico for elucidation of their mechanisms and investigation of regenerative medicine. The morphogenesis of microvascular network and cartilage are observed using microfluidic devices.
