Nano Life Science Institute, Kanazawa University (WPI-NanoLSI) aims to fundamentally understand various life phenomena such as the birth, aging, and diseases at the nano level through the fusion of nanometrology, life sciences, supramolecular chemistry, and computational sciences.
To advance these research activities, the institute holds an annual “NanoLSI Symposium” to establish new collaborative relationships with researchers from diverse backgrounds. This year, for the 8th edition, the institute plans to hold the symposium jointly with domestic research institutions for the first time.

Message from the Organizers
Human prosperity has advanced alongside the development of science and technology, opening numerous uncharted frontiers.
While many mysteries have been solved, numerous unknowns remain, particularly in the life sciences. At the nanoscale level, fundamental questions persist, such as the dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids on the surfaces and within cells, the essential building blocks of living organisms.
As a WPI research institute pioneering cutting-edge microscopy techniques for visualizing nanoscale life phenomena, we are excited to co-organize an international symposium with OIST on “Exploring Uncharted Nanoscale Frontiers in Life Sciences.”
This symposium aims to foster transdisciplinary research and catalyze new collaborations among researchers from diverse fields. We warmly invite your participation.
