Division of Nano Life Science
Opening up unexplored nano area
in the world's
most advanced research center "WPI NanoLSI".
New division was created in collaboration with the Nano Life Science Institute at Graduate School of Frontier Science Initiative at Kanazawa university in April 2020.
What kind of researcher do you want to be in the Division of Nano Life Science ?
The aim of the program is to nurture research personnel who will pioneer "untried nano-regions" by utilizing the research outcomes of the Nano Life Science Institute at Kanazawa University, which is conducting world-class research.
Image of human resources to be fostered.
With an insatiable spirit of inquiry and a high aspiration to contribute to people, science, and society, we are developing the following research personnel who will use the world's most advanced SPM technology (Scanning Probe Microscope) to measure and control the dynamics and behavior of atoms and molecules at the nano-level in the fields of life and materials science in order to pioneer unexplored nano area.
Human resources involved in the research and development of innovative nanoscale dynamic measurement technologies such as high performance SPM.
Human resources who can apply advanced measurement technologies to research to elucidate biological phenomena at nano level
Active in diverse sectors, especially academia
- Research positions at domestic and international institutions of higher education and research
- Research positions in the private sector, mainly in the biomedical field
Specialized Fields of Study in the Division of Nano Life Science
There are four specialized fields of study in the Division of Nano Life Science
Direct observation and understanding of nano-phenomena that cannot be observed with conventional microscopic techniques in order to explore unexplored nanoregions
Design and synthesis of molecular complexes for probes and other applications that will lead to the development of innovative nano-measurement technologies
Elucidation of the mechanisms of life by applying nano-design technology to elucidate the dynamics at the cellular level
Multi-scale simulations to understand the dynamics of atoms and molecules from experimental results obtained from measurements
