We believe that research is not the mission only for researchers.
Diverse people contribute to research activities in their own approaches.
Staff who provide technical support to researchers
Staff who manage a suitable research environment

We enjoy tackling research, worry about results, and deepen our knowledge.
We discuss and collaborate with each other.
And we will pass our knowledge on to the next generation.
