RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project Medical-risk Avoidance based on iPS Cells Team
Team Director: Naonori Ueda (D.Eng.)
Research Summary

In cooperation with the iPS cell research institute (CiRA) of Kyoto university, by using AI and iPS cell technologies jointly, this team will research and develop technologies for predicting Altzheimer's disease risk which is becoming social urgent matter. Moreover, we will conduct research develop technologies to ensure the safety of iPS cells themselves. The former results will improve the possibility of risk prediction of Altzhimer's disease with solution, and the latter will enable the stock of high quality iPS cells for regenerative medicine.
Research Subjects:
- Identification of Alzheimer's risk control drug
- Genome abnormality verification technology
- Abnormality prediction technology for iPS cells and cells derived from iPS cells
Main Research Fields
- Clinical Medicine
