About

Mamiko Tsugane is a leading researcher in the field of microfluidics and single-cell analysis, with a particular focus on open microfluidic systems for cell trapping and retrieval. Her major contribution lies in the development of innovative platforms that enable the deterministic capture and subsequent release of individual cells, addressing a critical bottleneck in single-cell genomics and personalized medicine. Her most-cited work, "Single-cell trapping and retrieval in open microfluidics" (2023), which has garnered 6 citations, introduces a versatile method that overcomes the limitations of traditional closed-channel systems by allowing easy access to trapped cells for downstream analysis. This achievement is notable for its potential to revolutionize how researchers isolate and study rare cells, such as circulating tumor cells or stem cells. Tsugane’s work is highly impactful for its practical applications in diagnostics and fundamental biology, offering a robust tool for high-throughput, single-cell resolution studies. Her research continues to push the boundaries of lab-on-a-chip technology, making her a key figure in advancing microfluidic-based cell manipulation.
