To understand the mechanisms of intracellular functions, it is crucial to focus on the dynamic interactions and higher-order clustering of molecular complexes, which function as "supramolecular complexes". This symposium brings together researchers from diverse fields, including advanced imaging techniques, physical theories, and synthetic biology. The aim is to discuss the unknown mechanisms by which supramolecular
complexes form and function in cells from multiple perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach is expected to lead to a dramatic deepening of our understanding of intracellular phenomena.
