Research

The Ogata Lab aims to develop bioanalytical technologies, such as single-molecule assays and scalable biosensors for protein quantification using bioinspired nanomaterials to pursue our vision of solving key challenges in diseases related to women’s health. Our technologies are developed using patient-centered design and implemented through a health equity lens, with the long-term vision of realizing equitable solutions in women’s health.
