• Background of the recruitment and description of the project

  The World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) program promotes the
  establishment of research centers that attract world-class researchers, implement changes
  in the existing academic system, and forge new academic fields.
  Bio2Q addresses the question of how human homeostasis is regulated by the epithelial,
  immune, neural, and metabolic systems, with an emphasis on microbiome analysis. The
  center will thereby establish a new form of life science aimed at understanding human
  multiorgan homeodynamics at resolutions higher than those achieved so far. Bio2Q will
  implement quantum computing together with artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze multiomics
  data and elucidate the multiorgan interaction pathways underlying human disease.
  Furthermore, we aim to also establish a reverse-translation workflow to decipher the causal
  relationships within the newly uncovered pathways.

  [Position Description]
  The Nano Life Science Institute (NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University was established in 2017 as a world-leading research center under the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The institute is engaged in the development of state-of-the-art bio-scanning probe microscopy (bio-SPM) technologies, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM), as well as in nano-life science research utilizing these advanced techniques.
  
  To achieve these objectives, the institute promotes interdisciplinary research that integrates four key fields: nanometrology centered on bio-SPM, life sciences, supramolecular chemistry, and computational science. Within this framework, researchers in supramolecular chemistry are engaged in the development of molecular sensors, the creation of nanoprobe sensors by incorporating these sensors into the tips of AFM and SICM probes, and the development of surface modification techniques for substrates used in AFM and SICM measurements. Meanwhile, researchers in computational science utilize advanced data science techniques—including simulations, machine learning, and statistical analysis—to verify the principles of SPM measurement methods, analyze SPM measurement data, and conduct mathematical modeling and simulations to understand biological phenomena in comparison with experimental results obtained by SPM.
