The Advanced Chiral Molecular Science Group (ACG) conducts research to elucidate the structure and functionality of chiral molecular assemblies and to apply them to the understanding of life phenomena and novel chiral materials. We are looking for a wide range of people who are interested in and motivated by the "functional exploration of chiral molecular assemblies". 

Advanced Chiral Molecular Science Group (ACG) is a sub-group of Bunshikouchikugaku Laboratory (Yuge Lab.).
