Research Center for Cooperative Projects “Frate”Hokkaido University Faculty of Medicine
Research Center for Cooperative Projects

Center to support industry-academia cooperative projects

(Established: April 1, 2006)

The center was established to promote translational research, in which the results of basic life science research are applied to clinical research for the purpose of contributing to medical science, medical care and health maintenance.

The center supports initiatives such as large-scale research projects of the Global Center for Biomedical Science and Engineering, Faculty Medicine(GI-CoRE Cooperating Hub).
The promotion of collaborative research by teams from a wide range of disciplines has produced a variety of world-leading results in interdisciplinary areas covering medical science, life science, general science and engineering.

In 2017, the naming of divisions/departments changed in association with reorganization of the Graduate School of Medicine. In 2020, the Department of Molecular and Cellular Function Imaging and the Department of Treatment/Working Balance Medicine and in 2021, the Department of Medical AI Education and Research, were newly established. In 2021, the Department of Photonic Bioimaging and the Department of Treatment/Working Balance Medicine, having served their purposes, were abolished, and research activities are currently conducted at four departments.
