TOPIC
▸　Microfluidics and Nanofluidics Engineering from Basic Science to Social Implementation 

❝　Microfluidic technology is at the forefront of personalized medicine, offering unparalleled control over fluid manipulation in both time and space. This precision enables gentler, faster, and more consistent sample handling, ultimately yielding more accurate and higher-quality information. Yet diagnosis is only part of the equation—microfluidics also holds promise for enabling personalized therapeutic interventions. Our team has established robust international collaborations with Lund University (Sweden), the Kanagawa Institute of Industrial Science and Technology (Japan), and industry partners including Daicel and IMT Taiwan. In this lecture, I will present our ongoing projects, which span a range of innovative applications: a microfluidic immunoaffinity platform for isolating extracellular vesicles, a femtoliter-scale interface for mass spectrometry sampling, and large-scale integration of microfluidic devices for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and chemicals.　❞
