Over the years, microscopy technology has made significant contributions to the visualization and elucidation of various materials, biological phenomena, and chemical reactions. In particular, optical microscopy has become an essential tool in the field of biology for unraveling the mysteries of many biological phenomena, starting with the discovery of cells. I have studied local observation and manipulation techniques using microscopy, including observing and manipulating molecules at the single molecule level, and materials in single cells. Recently, my focus has been on developing novel tools to further understand various unknown biological systems. Cells are the smallest units of living organisms, and understanding their functions is a crucial key to unraveling biological systems. However, many aspects of cell function at the single-cell level remain not entirely understood. The Hakubi project aims to develop a new platform that fully utilizes nanomaterials and microscopy techniques to properly understand the function of living single cells.
