Where does innovation come from? From a strong team, a clear mission, and a curious mindset, according to Nako Nakatsuka, Ph.D. Her research program in chemical nanotechnology aims to improve human health by harnessing the innate elegance of biological sensing platforms. Her desire to understand, transform, and deploy these platforms comes from her focus on the patients who will someday use the technologies she develops.
Nakatsuka is an Assistant Professor of Neurotechnology at EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
