On Aug. 28, 2007, we held a mini-symposium jointly with the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) of University of California, Los Angels (UCLA) which is active in researches combining nanotechnology and life science. After the introduction of ASMeW by Prof. Osaka and the introduction of CNSI by Prof. Rome, nine research topics, eight from ASMeW and one from CNSI, were presented followed by active discussions. Prof. Rome talked about his work on the biosynthesis and its formation mechanism of the hollow protein nanoparticles called Vaults as well as its biological applications including drug delivery, biological sensons, enzyme delivery, controlled release, and nano-electrical machines (NEMS) applications. After the symposium, visitors toured the facilities of ASMeW including SOL. |
