Ken-ichiro Kamei

Ken-ichiro Kamei is an Associate Professor of Biology at New York University, with a joint appointment in Biology and Bioengineering. He is also a Global Network Associate Professor of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, NYU, and a Global Network Professor of Biomedical Engineering, NYU Tandon. Kamei's research focuses on stem cell biology, organs-on-a-chip, nano/microtechnology, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. His work aims to develop miniature devices that replicate physiological and pathological conditions in vitro. Kamei earned his BA and MS before obtaining his PhD from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2003. He has held positions at UCLA and Kyoto University, where he served as an assistant professor and later an associate professor.

Ken-ichiro Kamei is an Associate Professor at New York University Abu Dhabi, specializing in Microfluidics, Nanoengineering, and Stem cells. His research focuses on developing advanced microfluidic platforms for biomedical applications, including the study of stem cells and tumor cells. Kamei's work integrates nanotechnology with biological systems to create innovative tools for cell culture, drug delivery, and disease modeling. His publications explore topics such as 3D nanostructured substrates, supramolecular nanoparticles, and microfluidic devices for single-cell analysis. These efforts aim to advance systems pathology, cancer therapy, and regenerative medicine through precise control of cellular environments.
