K anazawa U niversity has many reseach achievements

which are a source of pride and represent Japan well.

The research group led by Professor Toshio Ando has developed high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to directly
observe moving protein molecules. Proteins are essential to life, and therefore, understanding their functional mechanisms is ahigh-priority issue in life science. Unlike conventional methods, HS-AFM allows simultaneous recording of the structure anddynamics of functioning molecules at high spatiotemporal resolution, facilitating straightforward understanding of how themolecules operate to function. Various important results have been obtained by HS-AFM observations and published in prestigious
journals, Nature and Science. Many prizes have been awarded for these achievements. The research group is now advancing the
HS-AFM technology and conducting its application studies to create a new field in life science.

Innovative Brain Science for Develpment, Learning, Memory and Autism

The research group led by Professor Haruhiro Higashida discovered the possibility that a neuroendocrine substance, oxytocin
ameliorates Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with intellectual disability. The clinical trial to scientifically measure thetherapeutic effects being conducted to establish the oxytocin replacement therapy. Moreover, the group is conducting genetic andbiological research of oxitocin on the circuit formation of brain, as well as developing medical equipments to diagnose ASD. They
also take a multidisciplinary approach to comprehensively understand ASD collaborating with phycology, pedagogy, sociology,
and philosophy, which is expected to contribute to social problems relating ASD.

Environmental of Land, Sea, and Wind over the Pan-Japan Sea Area

It is becoming clear that the Japan Sea is greatly affected not only by the surrounding countries but also Asian continent. We
clarify this characteristic of the Japan Sea through the research utilizing the geographical characteristics of Noto Peninsula in thescope of natural sciences. To this end, we set up the world- class Noto Supersite for atmospheric observation at the point of Noto
Peninsula, and make it accessible to internal and external researchers. The research team conducts studies not only on the effects
of aerosol on climate but also on human health, as well as material dynamics in the Japan Sea, and contributes to the distinctive
education at the university.

A problem facing Humanity, the realization of the dream of“overcoming lifestyle diseases”

Cancer Research Institute (CRI) was authorized by the MEXT as the Joint Usage/Research Center on Metastasis and Drug
Resistance, and started the Joint Usage/Research Center Program. Cancer is a major health problem in Japan. Cancer incidence
continues to rise and one in 2 deaths in Japan will be due to cancer in the near future. In Cancer Research Institute, researchers
from a variety of fields including clinical medicine, pharmaceutical science, veterinary medicine, natural science, and engineering
have assembled to establish a cutting-edge research locus, to solve to the mechanisms of malignant phenotype of cancer cells andestablish to the preemptive medicine by its control. With the authorization as the Joint Usage/Research center, all members in
the CRI are endeavoring to widen collaboration with researchers in a wide variety of fields, to establish an international center of
excellence on metastasis and drug resistance and to eventually promote research for conquering these conditions.

Study and Training in Space Science and Technology for Kanazawa Cube-Satellites
Institute of Science and Engineering of this university starts an educational
program which promotes development of a nanosatellite named “Study andTraining in Space Science and Technology for Kanazawa Cube-Satellite(Kanazawa-SAT^3)”. The curriculum and educational environment are
produced for graduate students to be able to study the most advanced
space science and technology by the designing and manufacturing of thenanosatellite. This program aims not only to train advanced professionals who
acquire the integrated and comprehensive science and technology and the
product management skills, but also to technically demonstrate manufacturingof the inexpensive and practical nanosatellite. In addition, creation of theacademic achievement by the prompt and timely space observation is
expected by installing our state-of-the-art scientific instruments for radiationand electromagnetic wave observations with the nanosatellite.

Kanazawa Cube-Satellite (image)The Center of Innovation (COI) Program

The group led by Professor Shuichi Kaneko has examined approximately 10 million sites of hepatic genetic information andhas identified approximately 70 types of abnormal genes. This unique research which may hold the key to overcoming lifestylediseases which represent the greatest problem facing mankind in this century has attracted attention from around the world. The
group has received the highest level of funding in Japan and is continuing research into the expression mechanisms of abnormal
genes or the relationship with other genes. Also, in 2013, the National Invention Award was won for developing the breakthroughcancer detection method of analyzing the alteration of gene expression, which is completely different from the conventional
measurement of tumor markers in that the new method can early detect cancer.
Now, they have started the world’s first clinical study of liver regeneration using adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in
the Brain/Liver Interface Medicine Research Center that was established as center for excellence of Kanazawa University.

Two research projects was selected as “The Center of Innovation Science and Technology based Radical Innovation and
Entrepreneurship Program (COI STREAM)” by the MEXT in 2013.We contributes the center of “Construction of Next-generation
Infrastructure System Using Innovative Composite Materials: Enabling Society to Coexist with Earth for Centuries in Safety andSecurity” as one of participating institutions. Researchers of Institute of Science and Engineering develop bio-based materials
from biorefinery by using ionic liquids and innovative manufacturing processes.Research Center for Child Mental Development,
Kanazawa University participates in the center of “Development of “SUPER NIPPON-JIN” with human abilities activation andPromotion of Industrial Competitiveness / Construction of Prosperous society” as a satellite institution. In consideration of brain
diversity, we develop the system which improves human power from the childhood. In order to record a brain activity, we employ
the child custom-sized magnetoencephalography. We achieve the healthy development of children’s mind from viewpoints of thebrain science.

New Insights into the Earth’s Interior through the 21st Century Mohole

Graduate Program in Cultural Resource Management

The research team led by Professor Shoji Arai is conducting research for the purpose of confirming general “Mohole Science”, thescientific base of the science project “21st Century Mohole” (in which a bore will extend to the Earth’s mantle to “return mantle
samples” (bring back mantle samples) and “observe the mantle in situ”), which is scheduled for completion in the near future by
IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program). The team is conducting research for the purpose of elucidating the structure of thecrust and mantle of the Earth and the cycle of material forming those layers mainly using the “ocean floor” having characteristics
of a “window to the depths of the earth” where the crust is thin. Recently, we have investigated ophiolites as a “fossil ocean
floor”. A typical ophiolite is exposed in Oman on the Arabian Peninsula, where we can see a whole slice of the oceanic crust to
upper mantle, including Moho (the boundary where Earth’s crust meets Earth’s upper mantle), formed 100 million years ago.

The World Mixed Heritage Site, Tikal National Park, is located in the northernpart of the Republic of Guatemala in Central America. Tikal is an ancient city
site representing the Classic period of the Maya civilization from the 3rd to the10th century. In 2010, the Japanese government built and donated “Preservation
and Research Center for the Cultural Heritage in Tikal National Park” to
the Guatemalan government. Kanazawa University concluded a partnershipagreement with the Guatemalan Vice-Ministry of Culture and Natural Heritageof the Ministry of Culture and Sports in 2011, and is allowed the exclusive
use of a part of the Center. We are advancing research and education forinvestigation, conservation and utilization of ruins at Tikal under the leadershipof Professor Seiichi Nakamura of the Center of Cultural Resource Studies,
Institute of Human and Social Sciences. Since 2013, we are also working in theWorld Heritage Maya Site of Copan in the neighboring Republic of Honduras.
OUTLINE OF KANAZAWA UNIVERSITY 2014

This 5 years doctoral program is set in the Graduate School of Human and Socio-Environmental Studies. This program aims totrain the program students to become the experts capable of conducting research and finding effective ways of preserving andutilizing various cultural resources for the future life of human beings. The program students are composed of 4 Japanese students
and 4 foreign students recruited from 4 coordinating Asian universities each year, and form a multi-cultural unit in studying
activities both in a class and in research fields. This friendly partnership would hopefully become the basement of future Asian
cultural resource managing network.
