About

Tomoki Murakami is a pioneering researcher in the field of microfluidics and single-cell analysis, with a focus on developing innovative platforms for precise cellular manipulation. His major contributions center on advancing hydrodynamic cell-trapping systems, particularly through the design of open microfluidics that enable both single-cell trapping and retrieval—a critical capability for downstream genomic and proteomic studies. His most-cited work, "Single-cell trapping and retrieval in open microfluidics" (2023, 6 citations), addresses a key limitation in deterministic trapping systems, which traditionally keep cells confined without retrieval options. By integrating open microfluidic architectures, Murakami’s approach enhances versatility and accessibility for single-cell analysis, paving the way for high-throughput studies in cancer biology, drug screening, and personalized medicine. His research has garnered attention for its practical impact, offering a scalable solution to a long-standing challenge in the field. Murakami’s work exemplifies the intersection of engineering innovation and biological application, making him a notable figure in the microfluidics community. His achievements highlight a commitment to overcoming technical barriers, with potential to transform how researchers isolate and study individual cells.
