The general goal of our lab is to optimize 3D cellular organization and good mass transfer in various scales in vitro based on chemical engineering for for regenerative medicine and cell-based assays. We have also been trying to best integrate knowledge and technologies from various disciplines in a well-balanced manner to attain that goal.
Subjects of research
* Engineering of liver and pancreatic tissues for regenerative medicine
* Development of advanced in vitro organ models
* Prediction of human hazards based on cultured organ models
* Biosensors using enzymes and cells
* Analyses and control of heterogenic tissue formation
