The Dynamic Mechanism of and Fundamental Technology for Biological System

Outline

The research covered by the present research area will aim to 1) explore the dynamic mechanism of biological system, 2) establish the fundamental technology for analysis from a novel perspective, 3) integrally analyze the interactive relationship and the integrative mechanisms of various functional molecules present in organisms, and 4) understand the expression of dynamic biological information. More specifically, it will cover those researches which aim to understand the biological system as a whole by analyzing from a new stand point, the expression mechanism of information network at intracellular, intercellular and organism levels on the basis of understandings obtained from recent studies of genetic information and functional molecular assembly. Such research should look at the dynamic non-linear reaction characteristic of biological system. Furthermore, it will also include those researches which aim to create a simulation model for expression of biological information or those which aim to create fundamental technology such as a novel analytical method, though those which combine the experimental analysis of biological system will be preferred.
