Our aim is to pioneer a novel research field, that of Micro-dissection Genomics, which has been generated by the convergence of micro-dissection techniques and approaches to genomic research, one of the major life science research methodologies of the 21st century. The research institute was established to promote domestic genomics research by providing micro-arrays to domestic researcher nationwide, and to contribute to the development of disease care by identifying diagnostic or therapeutic target genes through research into various human diseases including cancer.
At present, we are conducting research and development of micro-dissection techniques, genomic methodologies, and bioinformatics in the departments of micro-dissection development, micro-array production and bioinformatics respectively.
