Research
Miyake Lab develops cutting-edge bio-devices that support the future of healthcare and manufacturing.
[Bio-Manufacturing (Smart Cells)]
We are developing ultra-fine nanoscale injectors capable of precisely delivering desired materials into cells and extracting materials from them. Using this technology, we engineer cells that can produce therapeutic compounds or serve as treatments for diseases. This research represents a frontier in biotechnology with significant potential for regenerative medicine and next-generation bioindustries.
[Medical Devices (Smart Contact Lenses)]
Leveraging advanced semiconductor technologies, we are developing thin, lightweight, and highly comfortable contact lens devices. These smart lenses are expected to contribute to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of vision-threatening diseases through drug delivery and health monitoring. In addition, they have the potential to serve as future platforms for augmented reality (AR) displays and other innovative applications that will benefit society.
