Welcome to Biopolymer Laboratory!!
Every member of the Biopolymer family is committed to building the best laboratory environments in both personal relationships as well as research activities. We are emphasizing the self-motivated and cooperative research environments to achieve the evolution of creativity. All members share their knowledge and ideas to overcome obstructions in research activity. We are also emphasizing the responsibility and reliability of building up a family-like community in the laboratory because our major goal is to train potential leaders. We are exploring the interdisciplinary areas of Biotechnology (BT), Nanotechnology (NT), and Information technology (IT). The recent advances in scientific knowledge and synthetic technology enabled the interpretation of complicated biological phenomena. We are aiming for the design of biofunctional materials using nano-scale objects. Also, we synthesize photofunctional materials as the mimicry of biosystems. We welcome you to join our group and enjoy the bioinspired materials world!
From BIO to BIO
Learning from biomolecules, bio-mechanisms, and biological processes would give great inspiration in materials design because bio-organisms evolved to improve their efficiency and safety with an uncountable long history. Our group develops many kinds of materials having bio-mimetic functions, such as stimuli-responsive systems, directional light energy transfer, site-specific molecular recognition, and self-assembled supramolecular materials. Bio-organisms recognize the micro-environment and respond to outer stimuli. Such processes take place at nano-scale regions because the sizes of bioactive molecules range from nanometers to sub-micron. Our group develops polymeric nano-materials to utilize in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, molecular sensing, and the design of biointerfaces.
