The lab uses polymer chemistry to create materials useful for medicine and the environment.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to create new materials that benefit humanity.
The Biomaterials Lab conducts research based on polymer chemistry, aiming to create new materials that can contribute to medicine and the environment.
By designing molecularly organized drugs that use the self-assembly of polymers, the lab aims to develop a range of drugs, including treatments for Parkinson's disease, liver disease, and diabetes.
The lab is also designing devices useful in medicine and building diagnostic technologies.
On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Koda Lab."
Key terms
- Polymer
- A large molecule made up of many small molecules linked together. Plastics and proteins in the body are also polymers
- Self-assembly
- A phenomenon in which molecules spontaneously gather and form a defined structure
- Molecularly organized drug
- A drug designed using the self-assembly of polymers
