About awarded research
Presentation Title: Development of a Stretchable Nanomesh Electrode-Integrated Scaffold Material for Cardiac Tissue Integration
Abstract: In this research, we developed a scaffold material integrated with nanomesh electrodes that allows cardiomyocytes to intertwine three-dimensionally within it, enabling true integration between the tissue and the device. We successfully overcame the key challenge of measurement instability in dynamic environments and succeeded in culturing cardiomyocytes on the device.
Your impression & future plan
I am truly honored to receive this prestigious award. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervising professors and all the members of my laboratory for their guidance and daily discussions. I will take this award as great encouragement and will continue to devote myself to my research.
