About

Yoichiroh Hosokawa is a leading figure in the field of biophotonics and laser-based cell engineering, with a primary focus on the precise manipulation and analysis of single cells. His most-cited work, the 2021 review "Rotation of Biological Cells: Fundamentals and Applications" (53 citations), has become a cornerstone reference in the field, systematically mapping the techniques and potential of non-contact cell rotation for 3D observation and mechanical phenotyping. Beyond this seminal review, Hosokawa has pioneered the use of femtosecond laser pulses for high-speed, high-precision cell surgery and the creation of innovative microfluidic platforms for single-cell analysis. His research has significantly advanced our understanding of cellular mechanics and physiology, enabling new approaches in drug screening and tissue engineering. With a career spanning over two decades, his contributions have been recognized through numerous grants and awards, and his work continues to shape the future of label-free, non-invasive cell manipulation, making him a key resource for students and researchers exploring the intersection of optics, microfluidics, and cell biology.
