Outline

To promote “Chemical Biological Research” that aims to elucidate biological phenomena using chemical compounds as starting materials, chemical libraries and databases that describe the chemical and biological information of the libraries must be appropriately maintained.

Our facility will construct chemical libraries and databases through the genetic and organic chemical research of secondary metabolites from actinomycetes and fungi.

We will also promote basic research to validate the usefulness of the chemical library, to identify the molecular targets of active compounds, and to elucidate the mechanisms behind the actions of the active compounds in the libraries.

We will continue to maintain the infrastructure for chemical biological studies.
