Ken-ichiro Kamei

Ken-ichiro Kamei is a Professor at Shenyang Pharmaceutical University's Wuya College of Innovation and holds concurrent Associate Professor roles at New York University (Tandon School of Engineering and Faculty of Arts & Science) and Kyoto University's Institute for Advanced Study. His research focuses on integrating microfluidic technology with stem cell biology to advance organ-on-a-chip platforms and drug discovery systems.

• Key Research Areas: Microfluidic Technology, Tissue Engineering, Human Pluripotent Stem Cells, Bioengineered Disease Models, Drug Delivery Systems, and Multi-Organ Microphysiological Systems.

His recent publications emphasize 3D bioprinting, liver disease modeling, and cancer nanotherapy, with a trend toward temperature-regulated stem cell differentiation and solvent-free microdevice fabrication. Peer review activity spans journals like Lab on a Chip and Biomaterials.

His work has been supported by multiple Japan Society for the Promotion of Science grants, including projects on synthetic biology, tissue engineering, and microenvironmental control of cell regulation. He has also contributed to developing corneal epithelium-on-a-chip systems and heart/liver microdevices for drug toxicity testing.
