Summary

We advocate a novel concept called "Water Biology" and try to comprehensively understand biological phenomena from the dynamics of water molecules. This center deepens the physicochemical understanding of water molecule dynamics in living organisms by fusing the latest knowledge and technologies of physical chemistry, biology, and medicine with the common theme of "water". We are also aiming for medical application.
