HOME > Activities for Combined Research
We are aiming for developpment in the Immunology field by combining three different "i"s; Immunology, Imaging, Informatics. To this end, new program called "Research Support Program for Combined Research Fields" has been launched in November 2009.
This program provides financial support for the novel idea of bridging research proposal between different research areas.
The table below shows the nine research ideas that got through the screening.
