About
Shinnosuke Nomura is a pioneering neuroengineer whose work bridges robotics, virology, and primate neuroscience. His primary research focuses on developing automated tools for precise neural manipulation, with a particular emphasis on enabling large-scale viral delivery to the brains of non-human primates. Nomura’s landmark contribution is the creation of ARViS (Automated Robot for Virus Injection), a bleed-free, multi-site injection robot that achieves accurate, fast, and dense delivery of genetically encoded fluorescent sensors to the cerebral cortex of mice and marmosets. This innovation directly addresses a critical bottleneck in systems neuroscience: the difficulty of expressing sensors across multiple cortical areas in primates to measure spatiotemporal dynamics of primate-specific activity. Although his most-cited paper (2024) currently has 3 citations, its recency and transformative potential signal a rapidly growing impact. By automating a previously manual, error-prone process, Nomura’s work promises to accelerate studies of cortical computation and advance the development of primate models for neurological disease. His achievement represents a vital step toward high-throughput, reproducible neural circuit interrogation.
