About

Shota Fukada is a pioneer in the emerging field of on-chip nanorobotics, with a research focus on the fabrication, manipulation, and application of hybrid nanorobots for single-cell analysis and surgery. His most significant contribution is the development of an on-chip nanorobot that integrates functional nanomaterials for precise single-cell punctures—a breakthrough that promises to make cell surgeries more robust and independent of operator skill. Fukada’s work is distinguished by his innovative use of femtosecond laser exposure and optical tweezers to create and control hybrid nanorobots composed of photoresist and silicon nanowires. His seminal 2014 paper on this topic has garnered 39 citations, reflecting its impact on the field. Additionally, his 2013 and 2012 papers, with 16 and 4 citations respectively, further detail the 3D fabrication and manipulation techniques that enable these nanorobots to be released and maneuvered for single-cell analysis. By merging nanofabrication with microfluidics, Fukada is advancing the toolkit for biotechnology, offering new possibilities for high-precision, automated cellular interventions that could transform diagnostics and therapeutics.
