Our group propose medical innovation mainly in neuronal science by interdisciplinary research using original technique. An original DNA transfection method into cells, droplet electroporation, was developed . This technique can contribute to biomedical innovation in mass-production of iPS cells for regenerative medicine, genome editing for gene therapy. The long-term stable measurement can be succeeded in the brain activity of disease model mice by implanted TOYOHASHI electrophysiological micro probe. We are going to apply it to a drug screening in medicine., functional analysis of circadian rhythms or chrono pharmacology.

Aiming at simple home disease testing through highly sensitive detection of biomolecules in body fluids and chemical substances in the air, we are conducting research on sensors that measure the mechanical quantity of molecules using MEMS technology. By using polymer nano-films and cross-linked structures of two-dimensional materials for the sensor functional part, we are aiming to realize ultra-sensitive sensors that can detect single molecules.

We read the speaker’s intentions from the voice, judge the situation by the environmental sound, and move to the music. We aim to reveal how such a reaction to sound occurs from the input to the auditory periphery. We are also working on a “universal design of sound” that supports various hearing levels.

KAKIUCHI Yohei

I am engaged in the research and development of robotic systems that contribute to the realization of an affluent society.Focusing on robotic systems, I pioneer the field of robotics where robots can work effectively, new ways of using robots, and new ways of making robots from the perspectives of hardware, software, and systematization.

ARIYOSHI Seiichiro

Terahertz-waves, located in the gap between radio-waves and light-waves, are called as the “frontier of light”. Our research interests focus on the development on highly sensitive terahertz-wave detectors using low-temperature and high-temperature superconductors, two-dimensional spectroscopic technologies and their new applications. I concurrently serve as the department of applied chemistry and life science.
