Ever dreamed of a machine that could make anything?
By studying biological responses at multi-scale (molecular, cellular, and organismal), and reproducing them through a biomimetics approach, we aim to uncover the mechanisms of biogenesis, and thereby to achieve the next generation of "biological manufacturing".
What are the molecular mechanisms of adaptation to perturbations?
How do molecular changes translate to physiological and behavioral patterns?
Designing novel gel-like materials as scaffolds for bioengineering
Inventing new mechanisms to explore the above topics, in collaboration with engineers
We are located in the beautiful city of Yonezawa, Japan, two hours North of Tokyo by Shinkansen bullet train.
