AIST Hokkaido is located in Tsukisamu, Sapporo. Its Sapporo Odori Site is a collaboration center for industry, universities and public organizations. At these sites, AIST Hokkaido employs a dedicated team of 240 researchers and administrators.
As one of AIST's biotechnology R&D bases, AIST Hokkaido is focusing closely on research and development of bio-processing for the production of useful substances such as proteins based on genome information and genetic expression data. These projects are closely linked to the biotechnology industry cluster policy promoted by the Hokkaido Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry.
To this end, AIST Hokkaido has built and operated the Biotechnology Research Center, a focal point for leading-edge research, and the Hokkaido Collaborative Research Facility, which supports venture incubation and collaborative research with industries and universities.
The Hokkaido Collaborative Research Facility offers clean rooms and animal-breeding equipment with micro-isolation cages. This state-of-the-art facility is essential for tissue engineering and the development of leading-edge biotechnology.
