“Making the Invisible Visible”

The Nanophotonics Laboratory in the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Osaka is dedicated to advancing the development and application of cutting-edge optical microscopy technologies, with a particular focus on biological and medical sciences.

We develop state-of-the-art microscopy systems that enable high-resolution visualisation and analysis of biological samples at the cellular and molecular levels. These advanced platforms provide powerful tools for uncovering complex biological structures and molecular interactions, contributing to significant advances in life sciences.

Leveraging these technologies, we explore the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes, develop innovative diagnostic approaches for the early detection of diseases such as cancer, and address a wide range of biological and medical challenges.

In addition to our research activities, we are strongly committed to education and training. Our laboratory offers hands-on experience in advanced optical microscopy techniques and fosters collaborative research projects with leading scientists and institutions around the world.

We also place great emphasis on international and interdisciplinary collaborations, actively partnering with universities and research organisations globally. Through these partnerships, we promote the exchange of knowledge and ideas, driving innovation in advanced optical microscopy and its applications.
