FIBER FUTURE COLLEGE ”Special Lectures from Outstanding Young Scientists” was held.

Frontier Institute for Biomolecular Engineering Research Konan University (FIBER) regularly holds “FIBER FUTURE COLLEGE” as a public lecture series inviting leading researchers in the field of nucleic acid chemistry. As part of this initiative, we held “Special Lectures from Outstanding Young Scientists” as a hybrid of face-to-face and online delivery.
In this lecture, young researchers, including doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers who are expected to lead cutting-edge research internationally in the field of nucleic acids chemistry, presented their research results.
