Inspiring Creativity in the Spirit of Self-Assembly
What makes our research here at iCeMS distinctive and uniquely valuable? First, we unlock the secrets of life, then mimic these natural mechanisms to create new, unique materials. We especially focus on the processes of self-assembly, applying these phenomena to develop innovative materials.
To pioneer such groundbreaking science, iCeMS brings together top scientists from various academic fields who work towards the same goals through a convergent approach, complementing each other's expertise. Our research groups include biologists captivated by the intricate mechanisms of life and materials scientists who possess exceptional skills in creating useful compounds and materials.
Just as materials self-assemble, the diverse expertise and talents at iCeMS converge to explore new scientific horizons.
Research Areas
iCeMS is creating a new interdisciplinary academic field by integrating its two major pillars of materials science and cell biology, synergizing them with other fields such as synthesis, engineering, information, and imaging.
