Stem cells together with
mesoscopic sciences.
Combiningphysics, chemistry,
and cell biology.
Join us atiCeMS in Kyoto to create a new
science.

Fusing cell and material sciences.ll cellular processes can ultimately be comprehended as chemical events, and such a chemical understanding of cells should allow us
to mimic cellular processes using chemical materials. Our institute seeks to i l luminate prec ise ly such a chemica l bas is o f ce l ls , c reat ing compounds to control processes in cells such as stem cells (materials for cell control) in addition to sparking cellular processes to create chemica l mater ia ls (ce l l - insp i red mater ia ls ) . Combin ing Kyoto University’ s established strength in cell biology, chemistry, and physics to delve deeply into the mesoscale world lying at the boundary of ma te r ia l s and l i f e , we a re mak ing a concer ted e f fo r t , t h rough interdisciplinary research, to ultimately create a new research field of integrated cell-material science.

In January 2013 the Royal Society of Chemistry published the first issue of Biomaterials Science, a joint venture with iCeMS. Its Founding Director Norio Nakatsuji (right) and PI Hiroshi Sugiyama serve as co-editor-in-chief and associate editor respectively. To commemorate the launch, an iCeMS-RSC joint symposium, eititled “Cell-Material Integration and Biomaterials Science,” was held at Kyoto University on 18–19 March 2013.
