I am pleased to report that I participated in the completion ceremony for the new main building held on December 9, 2025. The ceremony was attended by key figures from the University of Tokyo, including the University President and the Director of the Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (IQB), among others.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony
Our company has strengthened its collaboration with the University of Tokyo’s IQB since we entered into a special agreement with the university in 2021.
IQB is a leading research institute engaged in multiple cutting-edge research areas, including human genome information analysis, membrane protein analysis, and chromatin structure and function research.
In cooperation with the Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, our company has developed the IQB Gate, which is being operated to enhance the security of the institute. Additionally, our company’s FLD has been installed in the main building and is being utilized to enhance the welfare of the institute’s members.
This main building renovation project is said to realize the TECH concept, which integrates systems, spaces, and information that IQB has been working on for many years. This involves redesigning organizational culture, constructing an advanced research support model, and implementing an environment open to a science-based research institute.
Our company will continue to deepen our cooperation with IQB and strive for further development of joint projects.
