Description

OIST established the Global Bioconvergence Center of Innovation, a virtual research center based on the convergence of disciplines such as biomedicine, neuroscience, AI, environmental science, and engineering funded through the JST COI-NEXT grant . The Center was co-founded by OIST faculty and OIST Innovation, and is led by Project Leader Hiroaki Kitano (Professor (Adjunkt), OIST) and the Center Administration Officer, Gil Granot-Mayer (Executive Vice President, OIST).

Research and development activities at the Center will strive towards the concept of a One World, One Health society, founded on the indivisible relationship between humanity and the natural world. The Global Bioconvergence Center will support multiple projects to achieve three goals: Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, and Healthy Environment. In addition, joint labs with companies and a startup accelerator will ensure that technological solutions developed from the Center's research can be harnessed to benefit society by treating disease, extending a healthy life, and healing the planet.

OISTは, 科学技術振興機構 共創の場形成プログラム(COI-NEXT) の助成を受け,生物医学,神経科学,AI,環境科学,工学などの学際融合に基づく仮想研究センター「グローバルバイオコンバージェンス• イノベーションセンター」を設立しました.本センターはOIST教員とOISTイノベーションが共同で設立し,プロジェクトリーダーの北野宏明(OISTアジャンクト准教授)とセンター管理責任者であるギル• グラノット＝マイヤー(OIST首席副学長)によって指揮されています.

同センターにおける研究開発活動は,人類と自然界の不可分な関係に基づく「ワン• ワールド,ワン• ヘルス」社会の実現を目指しています.同センターは,「健全な精神」「健全な身体」「健全な環境」という3つの目標達成に向け,複数のプロジェクトを支援しています.さらに,企業との共同研究室やスタートアップアクセラレーター等の同センターの研究から誕生した技術的解決策が,疾病治療,健康寿命の延伸,地球のダメージからの回復回復につながり,社会に還元されることを目指しています.
