Polymer Biomaterials Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An endowed research division that designs and synthesizes polymers that control cell adhesion.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing polymers that control cell adhesion.
The Polymer Biomaterials Lab studies the design and synthesis of high-performance polymers that control the adhesion of specific cells.
It examines interactions among cells, proteins, and polymers using nano-bio interface analysis.
According to the lab, this research enables integrated research and development across organic and polymer synthesis, bio-interface analysis, and cell engineering.
The lab aims to establish polymer biomaterials science, covering polymer-based artificial tissues and medical materials used in fields such as medicine and biological analysis.
Key terms
- Polymer
- A molecule formed by bonding many small molecules of the same kind (monomers), or the material made of such molecules
- Nano-bio interface analysis
- Analysis that uses nanoscale sensors to examine interactions between molecules on surfaces where cells have attached
- Cell engineering
- Engineering techniques that target cells, used to reproduce and analyze phenomena that occur in living organisms
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to establish polymer biomaterials science by combining the design and synthesis of high-performance polymers that control the adhesion of specific cells with nano-bio interface analysis that clarifies the interactions among cells, proteins, and polymers. It advances research on applications to medical technologies such as regenerative therapy, and states its goal of contributing to the development of medical technology for aging societies around the world.
