In the analysis of biological phenomena and pathology, “smart molecules” having special functions enable the visualization and control of biological phenomena, which have never been achieved by conventional methods. These molecules exhibit various abilities in biological samples by precisely designing the molecular structures.
The objective of our laboratory is to develop new functional molecules which can be applicable in pharmaceutical research. We design and synthesize these functional molecules, and apply them to molecular imaging, drug discovery, drug delivery system (DDS), bio-separation and bio-analysis.
