Bio/Thermal & Magnetic Properties/Other Analysis Group
The Bio and Thermal & Magnetic Properties Group is a multidisciplinary advanced analysis group encompassing cell analysis, protein structure and interaction analysis, as well as thermal and magnetic property analysis of materials. With state-of-the-art instruments, it precisely evaluates the function and structural changes of biomolecules, providing essential data for drug development and the validation of gene and cell therapies.
It also contributes to next-generation new material research by measuring the electrical and magnetic properties of low-dimensional materials in ultra-high magnetic fields exceeding 16 Tesla.
