Message from organizers
Welcome to the Nanopore Meeting Tokyo 2025!
Nanopore measurement stands as a groundbreaking technology for single-molecule identification using electrical signals.
Since its monumental achievement of enabling nanopore DNA sequencing, the next great challenge on the horizon is nanopore-based protein sequencing—a frontier that many researchers worldwide are striving to conquer.
The Nanopore Meeting Tokyo 2025 is uniquely focused on advancing nanopore protein sequencing, particularly within the vibrant research landscape of Asia. This meeting serves as a platform to share the latest breakthroughs in nanopore studies and foster meaningful connections among researchers and industry professionals.
We are confident that this gathering will not only accelerate the development of nanopore technology but also strengthen and unite our global nanopore research community. Let us climb this scientific summit together and shape the future of molecular analysis.
