Collaborative Research
Joint Biotechnological Research with Osaka University
In order to further our contributions to society, Yoshindo decided to found a joint research course at Osaka University. We have sent employees to work on long-term research projects under the supervision of Professor Tadashi Wada at the Graduate School of Engineering. Our employees work tirelessly on core scientific research into nucleic acid drugs. In the future, we plan to set up a bio venture that works on the development of new drugs which can mark causal genes for specific illnesses. This has garnered lots of attention as generic drug manufacturers rarely embark on these kinds of cutting-edge projects.
