Institute for Quantum Life Science was established as a world-leading institute working on quantum life science, which combines the two fields of 'quantum' and 'life'. Since its inception, this institute has been actively involved in medical-engineering collaboration and industry-academia-government collaboration, in addition to collaboration between research teams and with other research centers, thereby building a system that enables research results to be implemented in society as quickly as possible. We are also actively involved in the development of young human resources, for example by establishing specialized courses within the graduate school in close cooperation with the university as a place where quantum life sciences can be studied.
We hope you will be interested in our research activities. We would be grateful for your support.
Project Director, Hiroshi Yukawa
Institute for Quantum Life Science develops quantum measurement technology that combines the complementary properties of quantum beams such as synchrotron radiation, neutrons, and laser beams. Our goal is to elucidate life phenomena based on quantum theory by utilizing more precise information obtained through advanced measurement technology. We are working on research and development through a wide range of industry, government, and academic collaborations. New collaborations are also essential to further advance our research. We are grateful for your continued support and cooperation.
