We are also actively engaged in open innovation in collaboration with various types of academia.
The "Joint Research Department of Drug Discovery Asset Application" has been established within the Center for Advanced Medical Innovation at Kyushu University to conduct collaborative research projects. In collaboration with the "Department of Translational Research Promotion", we access research information from the West Japan Academia Translational Research Network (WAT-NeW), which consists of 26 universities including Kyushu University, to collect promising drug seeds and drug discovery technologies.
MOIRe is a program that invites researchers in academia to submit promising drug seeds and technologies for drug development, both in Japan and abroad, and to collaborate with us in drug development. We are promoting collaborative research with researchers in academia in Japan and abroad on many of the ideas we have received so far.
