Experimental techniques and equipment have advanced, and biological data on DNA, RNA, and proteins at different levels have exponentially increased in recent years. In order to make full use of such data, information analysis technology capable of swiftly producing accurate results must be developed. Otherwise, pharmaceutical and health industries in Japan would be at a disadvantage in the global competition.<\/p>\n<p>To compete internationally, CBBD-OIL will combine Japan\u2019s leading biological systems\u2019 big data at Waseda University with information analysis technology seeds from Waseda and AIST to identify mechanisms of biological phenomenon as a system and develop experiments, which will prepare for and contribute to highly personalized medical care and better understanding diseases. Furthermore, by building a strong industry \u2013 academic \u2013 government network, CBBD-OIL intends to lead cutting edge research in biological information technology analysis and become a global standard as it strengthens goal-oriented fundamental research through collaborations with private industries.<\/p>\n<h4>Research conducted at CBBD-OIL<\/h4>\n<p>1) Understanding the mechanisms of disease onsets from single-cell data<br \/>\n2) Developing biological modeling technology from microdissection data<br \/>\n3) Developing factor identification technology for diseases from intestinal microflora data<br \/>\n4) Data maintenance and analysis technology innovation to discover new genome resources from marine metagenome data<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waseda University and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) established  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":43653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[178],"class_list":["post-44964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-research-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
