Unraveling
what it means to be alive
Scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations are born from curiosity-driven research.
At RIKEN BDR, we are striving to clarify the biology underlying the foundations of life, and apply the knowledge acquired through our research to address global issues facing humanity.
Latest Research
BDR scientists discover a new cell death mechanism, coined 'erebosis', mediating gut cell turnover in Drosophila.
A virus-produced protein that blocks the activation of a cellular-stress response could be used to save neurons in some neurodegenerative disorders.
A structural picture of protein interaction could help to develop new drugs.
A genetic modification improves human-derived retina transplants grown in the lab.
