| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated physical mechanisms of dynamic behavior of lipid bilayer vesicles and colloidal particles as a model of membrane-associated molecules. We found asymmetric structure and translational motion of a colloid-vesicle system by external stimuli, morphological dynamics of vesicles such as tube formation and invagination with colloids, internalization of colloids across the membrane, and change in phase separation due to membrane fluctuation.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は、生体分子群が結合した生体膜システムの物理学的メカニズムの理解や、複雑なソフトマターの集積システムや非平衡構造の基礎物性の理解に貢献する。また応用面でも、脂質２分子膜とコロイド粒子の関係性の理解は、薬剤の細胞内への効率的吸収（ドラッグデリバリーシステム）や、有害なナノ物質から細胞を防御する医薬研究分野への貢献が期待される。
