Programs Innovative Drug Discovery and Development
Overview
Promotes a wide range of research and development from drug discovery to clinical research and trials, as well as other initiatives that contribute to the creation of innovative new drugs and the enhancement of drug discovery R&D capabilities.
List of our Programs
| Programs | Overview |
|---|---|
| Research on Development of New Drugs | This project promotes platform technology for drug discovery and development, with the goal of creating innovative drugs. |
| Project Focused on Developing Key Technology for Discovering and Manufacturing Drugs for Next-Generation Treatment and Diagnosis | This program aims to improve the quality of life of patients, and suppresses medical expense increases by solving the issues of next-generation treatment and diagnosis. |
| Project Promoting Support for Drug Discovery | This project provides various support necessary for the practical application of pharmaceuticals, including support for drug discovery seeds that have high potential for practical applications originating in academia. |
| Practical Research Project for Rare / Intractable Diseases | The goal of this project is to promote the elucidation of the causes of intractable diseases. |
| Research Program on Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases | This program promotes R&D to fight domestic and global infectious diseases ranging from basic research and manufacturing technologies to research for practical applications including the development of diagnostics, treatments, and preventions that contribute to control infectious diseases. |
| Research on Regulatory Science of Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices | This program publically recruits research projects focusing on regulatory science research. |
| Project Promoting Clinical Trials for Development of New Drugs | This program aims to develop fundamental research in Japan and transform it into pharmaceutical approvals and create innovative drugs. |
| Acceleration Transformative Research for Medical Innovation | This program promotes R&D to fight domestic anThis program supports industry-academia collaborative R&D to facilitate the smooth and effective transformation (to the practical use) of academia-based seeds of technological development to the industry (businesses). The scope of this industry-academia joint R&D program ranges from post-basic research to preclinical studies (e.g., Phase 1 studies). |
