Creation of the Hub of Health Science and Medical Integration

Overview of Research and Development

A Base for R&D and Development Promotion Worldwide

With an aim to create the Hub of Health Science and Medical Integration, various research and development projects have been conducted through industry-academia-government collaborations in the fields of “Ingredients project”, “Evaluation project”, and “Medical Care project”. Achievements of such projects have led to the formation of an international base for R&D while displaying actual performance and results to the world.
