Dr. Koji Matsuura completed his doctorate in physical chemistry at Molecular Engineering, Kyoto University in 2005. Title of the thesis is 'Dioxygen activation mechanisms catalyzed by iron-containing enzymes'. Dr. Koji Matsuura joined in Research Center for Advanced Carbon Materials, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) as a post doctorate in 2004-2007, where he directed his research to bimolecular application of single-walled carbon nanotubes. He worked at Strex Inc. and Cardiovascular Physiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine in 2007-2008, and developed cell-stretching device, microfluidic sperm sorting system, and dynamic mammalian embryo culture system. Dr. Koji Matsuura became the tenure-track assistant professor in Research Core for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Okayama University from December 2008. He is in the tenured-position from April 2013.

Dr. Koji Matsuura research interest lies in research areas: 1. Microfluidic chip device for sperm manipulation without centrifugation 2. Dynamic embryo culture system 3. Application of localized surface plasmon microscopy to biomechanics 4. Application of pH-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFET) to cell culture.
