Okamoto Shunya

Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering

A research group supervised by Assistant Professor Shunya Okamoto of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology, and another s upervised by Associate Professor Yoshiaki Ukita of the Graduate Faculty of Interdisciplinary Research, Faculty of Engineering, University of Yamanashi, established a microfluidic control technology that can be applied to small blood testing devices and consequently developed a novel integrated immunoassay device. This microfluidic control technology is expected to address the issue of prohibitive cost, which has up to now held back the widespread application of microfluidic chips, and thereby facilitate a convenient blood testing device.
