The 2nd Symposium of the Research Group on Molecular Transport Systems
2026 October 30 MEETING
Join us in shaping a new field of molecular transport research.
The Research Group on Molecular Transport Systems brings together knowledge and technologies from diverse disciplines through the shared theme of molecular transport. Spanning fundamental and applied research, the group aims to develop a new interdisciplinary field through exchange and collaboration.
Our second symposium will explore transport mechanisms in living systems, the design of materials for molecular transport, and therapeutic applications. Topics include extracellular vesicles, peptides, AI- and simulation-based molecular design, structure-based drug discovery, organoids, and organ-on-a-chip systems. Through these diverse perspectives, we will share research advances and future directions in molecular transport.
Flash talks by participants and networking opportunities are also planned. We warmly welcome researchers and students interested in molecular transport, across disciplines and affiliations.
