RIKEN BioResource Research Center (BRC®) iPSC-based Drug Discovery and Development Team

Team Leader: Haruhisa Inoue (M.D., Ph.D.)

Research Summary

Haruhisa  Inoue(M.D., Ph.D.)

At BRC®, disease-specific iPS cells established from patients with various diseases are provided as bioresources. The disease-specific iPS cells are used for drug discovery and development.

Three missions of the team are as follows.

  • iPS cells of BRC® to develop infrastructure technology for drug discovery and development
  • Innovating the technology that will open an avenue for practical and general uses
  • Bridging disease-specific iPS cells and academia / industry in the field of translational research

Main Research Fields

  • Medicine, Dentistry & Pharmacy

Related Research Fields

  • Biology

Keywords

  • Disease modeling
  • Drug discovery and development
  • Disease-specific iPS cells
