We redefine bioengineering from quantum measurement and materials,
aiming to innovate biology with new engineering techniques
We make new microscope based on hardware and software that is necessary to measure new properties inside cell and living animals to discover new biology.

We engineer quantum measurement protocol to optimize measurement of new biological parameters. In the figure left, we demonstrated measurement of Thermal Echo technique to improve accuracy and precision for tempeature measurement. In the figure, change in oscillation observed on coherence represents difference in temperature.

To revolutionalize and combine with quantm technology, we engineer cells, protein and molecules to explore quantum biology.
We conduct in vivo measurements on living animals to explore quantum biology within their natural physiological states.
