To address this issue\, this seminar will present our\n latest researc h on the development of marine-friendly\, fully biomass-based materials\, with a specific focus on cellulose and chitin.\n\n\n Bio | Dr. Noriyuki Iso be is a Senior Researcher at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology\, where he also serves as Deputy Director of the Environmental Substances and Materials\n Research Program. He earned his BS\, MS\, and P hD in Agricultural and Life Sciences from the University of Tokyo. Followi ng his doctoral studies\, Dr. Isobe held postdoctoral positions at Univers ité Grenoble Alpes\,\n Osaka University\, and JAMSTEC before becoming a Res earcher in 2020 and advancing to his current role in 2025. His research fo cuses on biomaterials\, particularly polysaccharides\, and soft materials \n such as gels. In recognition of his contributions to the field\, he rece ived the Encouragement Award from the Cellulose Society of Japan in 2022\n DTSTART:20260601T140000Z DTEND:20260601T150000Z LOCATION:OM 321\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Special Seminar - Noriyuki Isobe: Deep-sea plastic pollution and ma rine-friendly fully biomass-based materials URL:/oss/channels/event/special-seminar-noriyuki-isobe -deep-sea-plastic-pollution-and-marine-friendly-fully-biomass-based-373138 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
