Office for Shinshu Univ. - RIKEN BDR Research Partnership

The RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (RIKEN BDR) and the Institute for Biomedical Sciences (IBS) at Shinshu University have been holding joint seminars since 2019. In 2021, we opened a joint graduate school between the Graduate School of Shinshu University and RIKEN. As a base for collaboration with RIKEN BDR, we will promote the advancement of research and graduate school education.
