She leads the Yamanishi Laboratory - the Micro-nano Functional Fluid Laboratory. The Laboratory’s goals aim to clarify unknown function of cells by using micro-nano technology based on mechanical, electrical and bio-medical engineering. It targets a contribution to the development of cellular scale medical treatment. For example, research includes work on novel gene injection methods and protein crystallization. Micro-nano scale actuation in micro-fluidic channels is being studied which will help to clarify phenomenon in biomedical fields.
