Overview of Kobe Campus
Osaka Campus
Osaka Campus was established in April 2011 as a research base for the life sciences. Osaka Campus is located near and has research facilities within Osaka University to further strengthen ties between the university and RIKEN. Osaka Campus is home to more than 200 researchers who aim to elucidate the generation, maturation, and aging processes of multicellular organisms through research into the movements and workings of intracellular molecules as well as through R&D of technology necessary to such research, such as high-precision microscopes, analytical equipment, and computers.
