Center Concept

"NanoBio Integration" promotes the understanding of the structure and functions of the body on a nanoscale and also the development of nanomachines in which bioinspired structures and functions are incorporated and methodologies are extracted that regulate the functions of body components, including biomolecules and cells, to integrate them into nanodevices. Thereby, we will try to establish the intellectual foundation and the interdisciplinary scientific technological system, which explores and reveals the nature of biofunctions on a nanoscale based on nanotechnology and materials technology. Eventually we wish to promote as the five-year strategic goals, the construction of an innovative"nanomedical" system based on nano-level spatiotemporal bioregulation and the establishment of futuristic innovative new nanobio industries. To effectively achieve this goal beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries, we set three subthemes related to three important nanobio functions: (1) creation of bioinspired nanomachines, (2) creation of an accurate spatiotemporal control-type biosensing system and (3) creation of nanotechnology and materials technology for nanoscale cell therapy. Moreover, by disseminating broadly at home and abroad new results of"nanobio integration" research, we aim to promote the academic paradigm shift that realizes further disciplinary integration and the rise of new environmental and information industries.
