Osaka University - Biophysical Dynamics Laboratories Nano-Biophotonics Group

This group works on research on Nano-biophotonics which combines Nanotechnology, Biology and Photonics. They use novel nanotechnologies such as scanning probe techniques, various types of optical spectroscopy and localized surface plasmonics. Their main aims are: Near-field optical nano-imaging of biomolecules, Development of high resolution near field optical microscopy based on metal-molecule interaction, Construction of Raman microscope and observation of cellular dynamics, Surface enhanced Raman imaging of live cell using nano-particle.
