Revolution Plastics

Focused on advancing the understanding and manipulation of biological molecules for discovery

Frontier Biomolecular Science refers to cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of understanding and manipulating biomolecules—such as DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates—at the molecular level. It integrates advanced methodologies, emerging technologies, and interdisciplinary approaches to explore fundamental biological questions and develop innovative applications.

Key Features:

Innovative Exploration: Investigates novel mechanisms of molecular biology, structural biology, and biophysics.

Technological Advancement: Leverages technologies like cryo-electron microscopy, synthetic biology, high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatics.

Interdisciplinary Integration: Combines principles from biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and computational science.

Application-Oriented: Aims to address real-world challenges in medicine, biotechnology, and environmental science.

Focus Areas:

• Understanding molecular interactions and dynamics in living systems.

• Developing artificial biomolecules or systems for therapeutic and industrial purposes.

• Advancing gene-editing tools like CRISPR and synthetic biology techniques.

• Exploring molecular mechanisms of diseases to innovate diagnostics and treatments.

Frontier biomolecular science drives transformative progress in understanding life at its most fundamental level while opening new possibilities for scientific and technological innovation.
