To promote "Chemical Biological Research" that aims to elucidate biological phenomena using chemical compounds as starting materials, chemical libraries and databases that describe the chemical and biological information of the libraries must be appropriately maintained.
Our facility will construct chemical libraries and databases through the genetic and organic chemical researches of secondary metabolites from actinomycetes and fungi.
We will also promote basic research to validate the usefulness of the chemical library, to identify the molecular target of the active compound, and to elucidate the mechanism behind the action of the active compounds in the libraries.
We will continue to maintain infrastructure for chemical biological studies.
Five research teams involved in this facility are to cooperate together closely and actively, in order to promote the missions of the research program.
