Probing the individuality of cells and molecules

Abstract

Probing the individuality of cells and molecules Sotaro Uemura, Professor at the University of Tokyo, probes the individuality of cells and molecules. The Uemura Laboratory was established in the Division of Advanced Photon Life Sciences, part of the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, at the University of Tokyo. Our research centres on biophysics, focusing on studying single-molecule genetics, particularly the unique aspects of molecules and cells. Human beings each have their distinct characteristics. Differences in things like gender, where we come from, physical attributes, health, and personality are examples. Bringing all these different individual traits together creates diversity, and our society is built upon this diversity.
