[Hyogo Medical University Crowdfunding Part 2] Crowdfunding challenge aimed at "extending the healthy lifespan of the elderly"

Hyogo Medical University (Location: Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture; President: Keiichiro Suzuki) has partnered with READYFOR Inc. (Head office: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; Representative: Haruka Mera) to raise funds for external research using crowdfunding. As the second step, from Monday, November 27, 2023, the FESTA research team, led by Professor Niimura of Department of General Internal Medicine at the university's School of Medicine, will begin accepting donations to support the continuation of the cohort study.

*Cohort study: A study that tracks groups of people with common characteristics, such as living in the same area, and observes what types of epidemics occur among those groups and how their health status changes, in order to clarify the relationship with various factors.

In order to answer the question, "What can people do to live long, healthy lives?", all of our staff will continue to conduct high-quality research and strive to discover longevity factors in the blood. We appreciate your support for this project.

We want to extend the healthy lifespan of the elderly. Please support our search for longevity factors in the blood.
