Research Division for Quantitative Life Sciences

Our research involves the development of new analytical and modeling methods to measure changes in the metabolites and dynamic structures of supercomplexes, including membrane proteins and chromosomes. The experimental data are used to mathematically model the dynamics of biological processes. It is our goal to understand how the assembly and interactions of individual factors are integrated in the whole biological process.
These findings will help to answer the question which is the ultimate purpose of this Division —“What is life?”
