Dementia Drug Resource Development Center
In September 2015, Meiji Pharmaceutical University has established a core research facility named DRC, supported by a 5-year grant entitled "the Program for the Strategic Research Foundation at Private Universities" offered by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan. The main aim of DRC is to promote the drug development research that overcomes dementing disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, by extracting drug seeds from highly valuable marine, plant, and bacterial resources. DRC is endowed with advanced equipment for accomplishment of next generation sequencing and biomarker identification.
