MaxWell Webinar with Dr. Yoshiho Ikeuchi and Dr. Tomoya Duenki

After finishing Ph.D. study on RNA modifications at The University of Tokyo, Yoshiho Ikeuchi conducted post-doctoral research in molecular and cellular neuroscience at the Harvard Medical School and Washington University, St. Louis until 2014. After returning to Japan, he has been conducting research on functional interrogation and engineering of neural organoids at the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo. 

Tomoya Duenki is a researcher at the Ikeuchi Lab, Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, where he conducted his PhD studies. He holds a master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from ETH Zurich and focusses on engineering techniques to improve studies using neural organoids.

Dr. Silvia Ronchi is Product Manager and Senior Application Scientist at MaxWell Biosystems, where she leverages her scientific background and user support to guide new product development and strengthen existing solutions in in vitro electrophysiology. She earned a PhD in Neuroscience at ETH Zurich, focusing on electrophysiology with High-Density Microelectrode Arrays. Her doctoral work spanned retinal and primary neuron preparations and later iPSC-derived neuronal models to study neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Grounded in biomedical engineering and electrophysiology, Dr. Ronchi translates user needs into product features and drives innovation across MaxWell’s portfolio.
