Summary
Materials that function in living organisms exhibit actions that depend on various physical factors such as shape and size. In this study, I will create supramolecules based on peptide amphiphiles with varied physical factors and verify their effects on cells. I aim to create materials that function efficiently on target cells by correlating cell states with physical factors of the materials.

Message

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the award of the Inamori Research Grant. With the support from this grant, I would like to conduct research that will lead to the development of biofunctional materials by clarifying the correlation between the physical properties of materials and their effects on cells.
