Haruko Takeyama (Waseda University, Professor)
(1) Since the most microorganisms in the environment are unculturable, a new analysis on genomic information is required. In our laboratory, we have developed single-cell genome analysis using microfluidic system. Furthermore, we have adopted Raman spectroscopy, which enables label-free detection of molecular substances at single-cell level, to perform the screening of beneficial microbiomes. To elucidate the functions of environmental microbiomes we have integrated the data obtained from our cutting-edge technologies. Moreover, we have developed the platform technology for microtissue omics. These new technologies have applied to various fields such as medicine and environmental science.
