1st International Symposium on Macro- and Supramolecular
Architectures and Materials (MAM-01): Biological and Synthetic Systems,
1114 April 2001, Kwangju, South Korea
Major goals of this symposium include study of natural models for synthetic
systems by integrating biomimicking concepts, investigation of effects
and consequences of incorporating synthetic systems into biological
systems (with emphasis on synergistic effects), and research on classical
aspects of macro- and supramolecular architectures and materials.
The symposium will highlight cooperation between cell biology and materials
science as the basis for the development of new biomaterials. Multiple
sessions will be devoted to general topics, biological and biohybrid
systems, and synthetic systems.
