Prof. Yasuro Niidome
Kagoshima University
Japan
Professor Yasuro Niidome received his Ph.D. in photofunctional molecular assemblies from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1994. He began his academic career as an assistant professor at Kyushu University in Japan, focusing on the preparation of anisotropic gold nanoparticles and their applications in biosensing and plasmonic nanomaterials. In 2012, he joined Kagoshima University, where he currently serves as a professor in the Department of Science.
He has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed papers and filed 35 patent applications. His primary research interests include the preparation of alloy nanoparticles composed of gold and base metals. His notable contributions to the field of nano-biosciences include chemical treatments to stabilize colloidal dispersions of the alloy nanoparticles under physiological conditions, as well as surface functionalization with bioactive peptides such as antibodies.
