Center for Chiral Science

The Center for Chiral Science is a research facility focused on studying chirality, which refers to the property of objects being non-superimposable mirror images—like left and right hands. In chemistry and biology, chirality is crucial because it affects how molecules interact, influencing drug effectiveness and biological functions. The center's work involves designing, synthesizing, and analyzing chiral molecules to advance scientific understanding and develop new materials or pharmaceuticals. By exploring chirality, the center contributes to innovations that can improve health and technology while deepening our comprehension of molecular behaviors.
