There has been growing interest in artificially manipulating cellular functions, particularly through synthetic molecules in chemical biology and light-responsive proteins in optogenetics. Related with these technologies, the presenter developed "Photochromic CID Technology" (CID: Chemically Induced Dimerization). This technology employs synthetic compounds that exhibit photochromism—a property where color or shape changes in response to light—to rapidly and reversibly control the dimerization of universal tag-fused proteins in cells, enabling precise manipulation of various intracellular phenomena. In the seminar, he will present several applications, such as regulation of intracellular signal transduction and protein assembly.
