About
Tomoyuki Takaku is a leading researcher in biohybrid sensor technology, specializing in the integration of biological olfactory receptors with electronic devices. His major contributions center on the development of highly sensitive odorant sensors that mimic natural biological systems. In his landmark 2019 paper, "Construction of a Biohybrid Odorant Sensor Using Biological Olfactory Receptors Embedded into Bilayer Lipid Membrane on a Chip," Takaku demonstrated a novel approach by embedding mosquito olfactory receptors (ORs) and their coreceptors into a lipid bilayer membrane on a microchip. This sensor achieved remarkable sensitivity to the volatile organic compound octenol, a key attractant for mosquitoes, with the work accumulating 72 citations to date. His research bridges neuroscience, materials science, and engineering, offering transformative potential for environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, and pest control. Takaku’s innovative use of biological components in solid-state platforms has positioned him as a pioneer in bioelectronics, inspiring further exploration into nature-inspired sensing systems.
