Research Summary

Hiroyuki  Osada(D.Agr.)

Chemical library is one of the indispensable tools to promote the research on regulation of cell functions and drug-discovery with the strategy of chemical biology. To ensure utilization and application of the chemical library, we promote research supports in chemical biology and resource science by provision of chemical compounds, their information and structure-activity relationship analysis. Moreover we will enrich the chemical library by cooperation with Chemical Biology Research Group and Natural Product Biosynthesis Research Unit.
