About us
“Science of Life” for human happiness
History of Establishment
The foundation was established in July 1990, based on the vision of the late Yuichi Yamamura, former Osaka University President, who aimed to make the northern Osaka area, centered around Senri, into a hub for life science. The foundation serves as “the exchange base of wisdom,” where life science researchers in industry, academia, and government can freely and openly exchange information and ideas, transcending the boundaries of their respective organizations.
Since 2007, he has been the president of the Foundation, and has developed and expanded projects with high level of innovation and public interest in various aspects, including the development of research personnel in the field of life sciences, research grants and support, dissemination and awareness-raising, and support for the practical application of research.
In recent years, the environment surrounding us has changed drastically, and while we have the prestige of the Foundation that we have built up so far, what new direction will we take with this as a new starting point? I think we are at a crossroads.
“People come together and challenges begin…… Aiming for a new role in the life sciences field”
It is my sincere hope that the Senri Life Science Foundation will further develop so that it can contribute to society by demonstrating its public interest.
Senri Life Science Foundation
