About

Meiri Shibusawa has pioneered the intersection of robotics and cellular biology, with a focused expertise in single-cell manipulation technologies. Their most influential work introduced a high-throughput microinjection system using a single-cell manipulation supporting robot, a breakthrough that dramatically increased the efficiency and precision of delivering substances into individual cells. This foundational paper, with 82 citations, has become a key reference for researchers automating delicate cellular procedures. Shibusawa further advanced the field by demonstrating semi-quantitative gene expression and knockdown in single mouse embryonic stem cells through high-performance microinjection, achieving controlled genetic perturbations with remarkable accuracy. This work, cited 15 times, showcased the practical utility of robotic microinjection for stem cell research and functional genomics. By enabling reliable, automated manipulation of single cells, Shibusawa’s contributions have empowered studies in developmental biology, drug screening, and personalized medicine, establishing a critical toolset for researchers seeking to understand cellular heterogeneity with unprecedented control.
