Research Interests

Professor Habuchi's research focuses on the development of tools and materials for fluorescence molecular imaging. His research interests include the development of microfluidics-based super-resolution/single-molecule fluorescence imaging platform for studying cellular interactions in the presence of external force, development of near-infrared/short wavelength infrared fluorescent nanoparticles using conjugated polymers for single-molecule/particle fluorescence imaging in biological tissues, and development of new single-molecule tracking methods to capture hidden nonrandom motion and conformational dynamics at the molecular level.
