Research
We are researching
(1) Nonequilibrium energetics of biomolecular motors by using single-molecule manipulation and
(2) Mechanobiology to measure the mechanical properties of cells and tissues.
Our goal is to discover new physics in living organisms through manipulation and measurement on multiple levels,
from single molecules to organs.
Nonequilibrium energetics of biomolecular motors by using single-molecule manipulation
with optical tweezers (Click to enlarge)
We are studying Energetics of a biomolecular motor, kinesin, by using a single-molecule manipulation microscope (right figure) combined with optical tweezers.
Recently, we found that kinesin can accelerate by using non-equiliburium, external force fluctuations.

Mechanobiology to measure the mechanical properties of cells and tissues.
(Click to enlarge)
In collaboration with Mizuno Lab. at Kyushu University, we measured the mechanical properties of the cells and found that the inside of the cells fluctuated violently.
In collaboration with Seiki Lab.at Yamaguchi University, we are developping a recently established measurement method by using ferrofluid oil droplets to measure mechanical properties of organs/tissues (right figure).。
