The results of collaborative research by Ms. TAKEUCHI Nanami, a third-year doctoral course student) in the Department of Biotechnology and Life Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, her supervisor, Professor KAWANO Ryuji, and others were published on June 6, 2023 in Analytical Chemistry of American Chemical Society.
Congratulations to Takeuchi san!

In this research, they have succeeded in counting and extracting target DNA molecules at the 1~100 molecule level using nanopores, molecule by molecule.
This technology is expected to be applied to DNA analysis in the fields of disease diagnosis and drug development.
