Development of combined platforms for optical and electrical cell analysis based on chip technology

This research aims to create nanobio analytical systems through the development of highly functional biochips using nano/microfabrication technologies and their combination with microscopic imaging apparatus. Novel microfluidic devices with micro/nanostructures are going to be designed so as to enable direct manipulation and precise measurement of individual cells and biomolecules. This research are expected to provide fundamental tools for biological function analysis and will have great influence in the field of biotechnology research, clinical test and drug screening.
