Leading research on the microbiome that can be used in a clinical setting in the best research environment

I have seen a number of research results coming rapidly from here those are directly connected to intellectual properties. I would like to assess right values of the intellectual properties and make proper decision whether JSR will commercialize by ourselves, license the technologies to pharmaceutical companies, even establish venture startups.

Research of the microbiome in Japan is in a revolutionary period now. Through JKiC research activities, I would like to make Keio University to be recognized as a leading research center in the microbiome field toward the new era.
