Biography Shoji Takeuchi received his B.E., M.E., and Dr. Eng. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan in 1995, 1997, and 2000, respectively. He is currently a professor in and the Director of the Center for International Research on Integrative Biomedical Systems (CIBiS), Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) at the University of Tokyo. He has authored more...

Biofabrication with chitosan.

The traditional motivation for integrating biological components into microfabricated devices has been to create biosensors that meld the molecular recognition capabilities of biology with the signal processing capabilities of electronic devices. However, a different motivation is emerging; biological components are being explored to radically change how fabrication is achieved at the micro- an...

Nanoparticle biofabrication using English ivy (Hedera helix)

BACKGROUND English ivy (Hedera helix) is well known for its adhesive properties and climbing ability. Essential to its ability to adhere to vertical surfaces is the secretion of a nanocomposite adhesive containing spherical nanoparticles, 60-85 nm in diameter, produced exclusively by root hairs present on adventitious roots. These organic nanoparticles have shown promise in biomedical and cosme...

Biofabrication: using biological materials and biocatalysts to construct nanostructured assemblies.

Emerging opportunities are placing greater demands on device fabrication: next-generation microelectronics will need minimum features of less than 100 nm, high-throughput drug screening will require facile methods to incorporate sensitive biological components into microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and implantable devices will need to be built from biocompatible materials. Increasingly, th...
