FIBER FUTURE COLLEGE Nucleic Acid Chemistry Universe was held and the results were reported

Frontier Institute for Biomolecular Engineering Research (FIBER) invites leading researchers in the field of nucleic acid chemistry to give open lectures at the “FIBER FUTURE COLLEGE”.

FIBER Future College 96 was held as part of the FIBER Nucleic Acid Chemistry Universe, a special series of FIBER Webinar Universe. In this lecture series, leading researchers introduce cutting-edge research results.

In this lecture, Dr. Saptarshi Ghosh, FIBER Research Assistant Professor Fellowship, gave a talk on predicting the stability of RNA double helix structures in the intracellular environment. As an invited lecture, Dr. Masayuki Tera of the Graduate School of Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, who is well known for his research on chemical biology in the field of nucleic acid chemistry, including the development of nucleic acid quadruplex helix binding ligand molecules, introduced his latest research results. Members of the project’s overseas cores also participated in the lecture online.
