【About Sakamoto Lab】
What is Life? How do lifeless molecules come together to create dynamic and purposeful living things? Newly founded in September 2025, “Laboratory of Designer Life” explores this fundamental question from physics viewpoints by combining experiments and theory. We take a bottom-up approach: instead of studying living cells as they are, we re-build key aspects of life in the lab, piece by piece, using building blocks of life. Our goal is to reveal the core principles underlying the beautiful self-organization of life. We seek people who are motivated to work on:

1. Developing experimental systems integrating microfabrication and purified biomolecules to observe their self-organization
2. Experimental measurements using microscopes, quantitative image analysis, and theoretical analysis
3. Basic administration such as ordering/managing lab items, reimbursement, and scheduling

【Research Focus】
Potential areas of exploration include but are not limited to:

1. Biomolecular Self-Organization: Explore to understand how nm-scale biomolecules spontaneously assemble into µm-to-mm-scale larger functional structures without any blueprint by developing innovative bottom-up systems
2. Engineering Life: Designing and building life-like systems that not only mimic but could potentially outperform natural cells, which will open up exciting opportunities in biotechnology and sustainable material development

【What We Offer】
1. Innovative Environment: Work at the forefront of biophysics, active matter physics, bioengineering, and synthetic biology
2. Skill Development: Gain hands-on experience in advanced microfabrication and in vitro protein experimental techniques, scientific writing and presentation skills
3. Collaborative Culture: Join the team that is motivated to develop and share knowledge for mutual growth

My laboratory studies complex tissue regeneration using the zebrafish model. We seek highly-motivated colleagues with interests in regeneration, multicolor cell barcoding technique, live imaging, genetics, or working with zebrafish.
