About
Makoto Komori is a pioneering researcher in molecular robotics and DNA nanotechnology, with a focus on developing programmable biomolecular systems for sensing, computation, and signal amplification. His most influential work introduces a breakthrough isothermal cascade reaction that achieves leak-free, million-fold DNA amplification in a single pot. By integrating locked nucleic acids to suppress unwanted ab initio DNA synthesis, Komori’s method enables targeted hybridization and exponential amplification of pre-designed single-stranded DNA. This innovation serves as a critical sensor and signal amplifier module for DNA-based computing and molecular robotics, addressing a long-standing challenge of background noise in amplification systems. With over 20 citations since its 2019 publication, his work has already shaped the design of robust, autonomous molecular circuits. Komori’s contributions are foundational for advancing synthetic biology and smart nanodevices, offering a reliable toolkit for researchers building next-generation molecular machines and diagnostic platforms.
