Oka Laboratory - Capturing the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Biological Phenomena with Imaging Techniques

"How can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?"

As the physicist Erwin Schrödinger stated, many researchers have long been challenging themselves to elucidate the spatiotemporal events in living organisms.

At the Oka Laboratory in the Department of Biosciences and Informatics at Keio University, we are also conducting daily research to quantitatively evaluate biological phenomena from the perspectives of physics and informatics, aiming for an understanding at the mathematical level.

The Oka Laboratory focuses on the attempt to reveal the spatiotemporal changes of biological phenomena using various imaging techniques.
