3rd NanoLSI Symposium at UBC in Vancouver – Supramolecular Chemistry and Nanoprobes in Life Sciences will be held
The Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) of Kanazawa University, Japan aims to acquire a fundamental understanding of various life phenomena, such as development, disease and aging through transdisciplinary research of Nanometrology, Life Science, Supramolecular Chemistry and Computational Science.
Following the 2nd symposium held in London in November 2018, NanoLSI will hold the 3rd symposium in Vancouver to enhance the collaborative relationship with the University of British Columbia (UBC) as well as to initiate collaborations with researchers in North America.
We sincerely look forward to seeing you at this symposium.
