Outline of Final Research Achievements

The area meeting attended by all the area members was held 9 times. The open symposium was held once a year and the final one is planned in July 2017. Research workshops were held 19 times. The area also sponsored the open symposium in two international conferences.
The home page (http://www.molbot.org）continued submitting information about the area, and the news letter was published four times a year.
The area supported the international biomolecular design competition for undergraduate students by sponsoring the domestic preliminary contest five times and writing a textbook, which is planned to be translated to English by the international committee. The workshop for high school students (hirameki-tokimeki science) titled “Make and play with DNA origami” was held twice. A booth was put four times in exhibitions for companies (MEMS and Nano-Micro Business).
