―Utilizing Molecules― Translational study from animal to human

We provide core technologies to realize health sciences including very early diagnosis, pathophysiology, and preemptive medicine using imaging biomarkers closely related to disease state and pre-disease state (ahead sick), to innovate medical science with promotion of collaborations among all center members.

Research Theme

  • Molecular imaging study on newly developed biomarkers for evaluation of health and pre-disease state
  • Molecular imaging study on newly developed biomarkers for evaluation of disease state
  • Development of molecular imaging indices for products to avoid deterioration of health
