2SCA Tackle “Molecular Engine” by Early-career Researchers

Thu. Sep 29, 2022 8:45 AM - 11:15 AM Room C (Hakodate Arena Budokan C)

Organizers:Takahiro Kosugi(IMS),Akihiro Otomo(IMS)

共催:新学術領域研究「発動分⼦科学」

“Molecular Engine”, design of autonomous functions through energy conversion, has bud by the orchestration of chemists, biologists, and physicists in the last five years. This scientific concept should be passed down to the next generations for further development. To this end, early-career researchers in various research fields are trying to elucidate the energy conversion mechanism of molecular machines and to design novel ones. In this symposium, budding researchers who will lead this field related to biophysics in the future will give a talk about their latest exciting research results by developing cutting-edge technologies and future prospects.
