Clarification of bactericidal effect using controllable nanostructures

Abstract

Professor Takeshi Ito, a researcher based in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Kansai University in Japan, has a particular interest in micro and nano fabrication technologies and their various applications. Ito is particularly interested in their applications in biotechnology and is working to develop biosensing devices and biomimicking materials using nanostructures. These devices and materials could have multiple applications in myriad settings. For example, nanostructure-based bactericidal material has the ability to kill bacteria with antimicrobial resistance and could have a number of applications, such as for medical apparatus in hospitals.
