A joint study session was held between the "Meta-Aggregate" area and the Gakuhen B External Seminar, and Dr. Tsukakoshi, the area representative, gave a speech.
We held a joint study session with Academic Transformation Research B "Meta-Aggregate (Representative: Professor Murakami Kazuma, Kyoto University)".
From Creation of Aptameric biology, Dr. Tsukakoshi (Area Representative, C01 Research Representative) gave a lecture on the overview of the area and the results of aptamer development research to date. In addition, Dr. Takahiro Nakayama from Meta-Aggregate gave a lecture on the basics and cutting-edge research of analytical techniques using high-speed AFM.
The discussion continued right up until the end of the Q&A session, making it a very productive meeting.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated and to everyone in the Meta-Aggregate field.
