Outline

Bio-research Infrastructure Construction Team

Our goal is to develop original RIKEN data processing technology and multidimensional measurement technology in order to contribute to understanding biological phenomena.

We are especially contributing to the fields of mathematical biology and biomedical simulations, as well as medical diagnostic and treatment technology by researching and developing new data and image processing technologies and establishing new tools for quantification of biological phenomena, intended for researchers both inside and outside of RIKEN.
