About
Dr. Seiji Kojima is a pioneer in nanorobotic manipulation and single-cell analysis, with a focus on understanding cellular mechanics at the microscale. His key research areas include cell adhesion force measurement, viability identification, and the development of advanced manipulation systems for biological specimens. One of his most notable contributions is the novel method for identifying cell viability through direct adhesion force measurement, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2011 paper. By using a nanorobotic manipulation system inside an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), Kojima and his team successfully measured the adhesion forces of living and dead yeast cells, providing a label-free, mechanical alternative to traditional stain-based viability assays. This work, which has garnered over 10 citations, represents a significant step forward in single-cell analysis, enabling more precise and non-invasive characterization of cellular states. Kojima’s research bridges robotics, nanotechnology, and biology, offering powerful tools for studying cell behavior, disease mechanisms, and tissue engineering. His innovative approach continues to inspire new methods in mechanobiology and micro-robotics, making him a respected figure in the field of nanobiotechnology.
