Overview
Recently, the expectation of the technology for elucidating and applying life phenomena by directing attention to various biomolecules has been increasing as a technology to contribute to a wide range of fields including the formation of a healthy society with long-lived people, a stable supply of food, and the development of industries that use living things. To correspond to such expectation, it is essential to support and develop various young researchers who have unique ideas from the viewpoint of integration of “life and chemistry” and contribute to the next generation.
In this research area, we promote the research that leads to the creation of new values while supporting the young researchers who contribute to the future through research in the field of “life and chemistry.” Specifically, we call for challenging research concepts based on new ideas in a wide range of specialized fields including the research in the field of biology to understand life phenomena from the viewpoint of biomolecules and the research that elucidates, controls, and applies life phenomena by using chemical methods.
To promote research, we, placing importance on the viewpoint of the development of human resources, provide opportunities in which young researchers communicate and mutually stimulate each other; thus, we aim to construct a human network of researchers, which may result in the development of human resources in the research that advance the research to contribute to the future and in future cooperation.
