Open Research Center
Meiji Pharmaceutical University Open Research Center is a research institute that conducts "Integrated research in basic and clinical pharmaceutical sciences for preventing and treating common diseases". Circulatory system disorders, dyslipidemia, and atopic dermatitis are common diseases that affect many people. To prevent and treat these diseases, we will conduct general research in cooperation with basic science and clinical researchers. Our purpose is to promote the development of drugs that have novel mechanisms of action, and to create tailor-made medicines. We also give lectures for high school students and local residents to foster educational commitments regarding the prevention and treatment of diseases in the wider community. The center is supported by the Open Research Center Project, which has been promoted and subsidized by MEXT since 2004. (This project was completed on March 31, 2008.)
