■要約
Our goal at Bio-S is to implement, through the power of internationally competitive science, the establishment of a foundation that will allow health sciences industries to take root in Hokkaido.Since its launch in 2007, the Bio-S project has promoted research on characteristic functional evaluation in the three fields of metabolic, immune and cognitive function, which deteriorates with age and lifestyle changes. It has promoted the evaluation of various food and food ingredients and made progress in efforts to identify biomarkers that indicate related disease processes. All our projects have been managed by the following strategies under collaboration between universities and industries.Business strategy: 1) Exploring project = Discovery of biomarkers, 2) Development project = Development of functional foods, 3) Evaluation project = Development of diagnostic & test kits and building the business center for functional evaluation.R & D strategy: 1. Pursuing scientific innovation, 2. Pursuing commercialization or academic promotion, 3. Building research hubs for food innovation.Globalization strategy: Building the Sapporo-based R & D hub of functional foods for East Asia and pursuing extensively complementary alliance.Human resource development strategy: Development of food science adviser versed in Hokkaido health foods and clinical research coordinators for functional foods in Bio-S Food Science College.
