Nobutaka HANAGATA
With Nano-Bio and Chemistry Facility (NBCF), we seek to provide a research environment in which activities from basic research on Nano-Biotechnology to creation of innovative technologies that benefit society and industry can be carried out, by primarily providing research support in the area of fusion between biotechnology and nanotechnology.
In Nano-Biotechnology, there is the “Exploiting nanotech for biology” domain, in which micro- and nano-devices are created using a top-down approach.
There is also the “Exploiting biology for nanotech” domain, which uses a bottom-up approach to create nano-systems by taking advantage of the elucidation of the complex energy conversion, information transmission, and locomotive systems of cells and organisms. To advance such integrative research domains and permeate them into society as useful technologies, it is necessary to build a cohesive R&D structure spanning basic and applied research.

NBCF comprises the following five areas: organic molecule preparation, cell cultivation, bio-imaging, organic and macromolecular materials synthesis, and instrumental analysis. We would like this place to be used as a site where the various elemental technologies needed to advance research that integrates biotechnology and nanotechnology are united, and where exchange of ideas between researchers from different fields and between researchers from industry, academia, and Independent Administrative Institutions take place.
