Kishimoto Foundation Research Grant Program
With donations from the Kishimoto Foundation since 2010, our foundation has been conducting research grants under the name of ‘Kishimoto Foundation Research Grants.’
The Kishimoto Foundation was established in 2008 by Dr. Tadamitu Kishimoto (former President of Osaka University and Honorary President of the Senri Life Science Foundation), who discovered IL-6, an important molecule in the research and treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and developed IL-6 receptor antibody.
