    MessageRecently, many people give much attention to the life-science research rapidly advancing. Then, my research target is to realize revolutionary analytical methods with tiny semiconductor structures, to help the progress. The tiny semiconductor structures whose scale is approximately 1 to 2 μm, have interesting functions. They can accumulate the light-energy in their structures, and also can discharge it with their ambient situation. Thus, they can act as optical tiny switches. Using the functions of the tiny structures, I want to realize super sensitivity label free biosensor to monitor living cells, DNAs, RNAs, and micro-chemistry materials with sub-micron to micron area and real-time. In future, I expect that the researchers in life-science field reveal and explain detailed mechanisms of many biological phenomena by this tool.
