6th NanoLSI Symposium will be held in a Hybrid format on November 14-15, 2022

Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) consists of four fields: Nanometrology, Life Science, Supramolecular Chemistry, and Computational Science. Through the fusion of four fields, we aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of fundamental life phenomena, such as the replication and reading of genetic information and cell division, as well as higher-order life phenomena, such as immunity, memory, and thinking at the nanoscale level.

We hold an international symposium annually to develop further transdisciplinary research and establish new cooperative relationships with researchers from diverse backgrounds. The 6th NanoLSI Symposium, organized by Prof. Mikihiro Shibata, who studies single-molecule observations of protein dynamics by HS-AFM, will invite distinguished researchers from Japan, Europe, the United States, and Asia to discuss cutting-edge probe technology under the theme of “Nanoprobe Technology for Understanding Molecular Systems.

As in previous years, we will also have a poster session in addition to the oral session, where more detailed experimental techniques related to probe technology will be discussed in-depth. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest research results in various fields. We look forward to your participation.

Please note that the symposium will be held in a hybrid format and will be streamed live online.
