University-wide cross-disciplinary project research "Hyogo Innovative Challenge"
About the "Hyogo Innovative Challenge" Project
This is a university-wide project research project that has the potential to become the flagship of Hyogo Medical University. It will be carried out with the aim of contributing to the medical and industrial development of Hyogo Prefecture, and ultimately disseminating the newly gained knowledge to the world, starting from research at our university.
We will proactively take advantage of the unique characteristics of our university as a medical university and work together to advance research that will lead to advances in medical care and contribute to society.
