The Nano Life Science Institute at Kanazawa University (WPI-NanoLSI) strives to uncover the fundamental mechanisms behind life phenomena such as birth, aging, and disease at the nanoscale by integrating nanometrology, life sciences, supramolecular chemistry, and computational sciences.
To further these efforts, the institute hosts an annual “NanoLSI Symposium” to foster new collaborations with researchers from various disciplines. This year, the 9th NanoLSI Symposium will be held jointly with the 19th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry 2025 (ISMSC2025) for the first time.

Message from the Chair
Microscopy technology have recently developed to visualize a variety of small objects at the molecular level. Scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) allow us to observe not only details of nanomaterial surfaces, but also biomolecules such as proteins and DNA, and artificial nanostructures such as supramolecular polymers and aggregates. These biological systems and supramolecules involve structures produced by the assembly of multiple molecules through “non-covalent interactions,” and the microscopy technology has become an increasingly important tool for understanding these structures and functions, especially biological phenomena, at the molecular level in a real-time manner.
The Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University has developed new high-resolution, high-speed microscopy technology and has promoted research in nano-life science, utilizing this technology in conjunction with computational science, to visualize life phenomena at the molecular level and to develop novel supramolecular structures.
On the occasion of the ISMSC in Japan, we are pleased to organize the 9th NanoLSI Symposium in conjunction with ISMSC 2025 on topics focusing on supramolecular chemistry and its linkages with microscopy technology, life sciences, or computational science. The symposium aims to promote interdisciplinary research between supramolecular chemistry and microscopy technology, life sciences, and computational sciences, and to foster new collaborations between researchers from different fields. We look forward to your participation.
