  Research Center for Bio-Architecture

  The Center was founded in April 2011, aiming at synthesis and organization of innovative artificial biomolecules and at development of artificial biosystems.

  Synthesis of Artificial Biomolecules and their Organization

  Recent progresses in life science have revealed detail mechanisms of biosystems at a molecular level. These progresses allow us to investigate "Bio-architecture research" which aims to develop biosystems using biomolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and biomembranes. In the School of Materials Science at JAIST, we have achieved to create artificially modified nucleic acids, proteins, and membranes showing desired functions.

  Based on these achievements, Research Center for Bio-Architecture was founded aiming at synthesis and organization of innovative artificial biomolecules and at development of artificial biosystems. The center also aims at application of achievements of the scientific research to actual medical developments such as novel therapeutic and diagnostic drugs.
