The Research Institute for Microbial
Diseases (RIMD) was established in1934 to study microbial and infectious
diseases, the immune system, andcancer.
The RIMD of today is the result of thehard work and amazing achievementsof many researchers over the years.

MEXT Joint Usage /Research Center
In 2008, MEXT established a system called "Joint Usage /Research Center" which allows researchers across the country tojointly utilize research facilities and data beyond individual
university frameworks for collaborative research. RIMD wasdesignated as Joint Usage / Research Center in 2009.

Global Activities
We engage in international research activities and personneldevelopment initiatives, including the Japan-Thailand Infectious
