Our major missions are to coordinate institutional projects and to enhance themutual cooperation and alliance among teaching and research staff, administration
staff, and technical staff in order to execute the activities in our institute effectively.
For these purposes, we carry out several tasks such as planning for new
institutional research programs and symposiums, fundraising, supportinginternational students and researchers, outreach activities, providing academic
advice to administration staff, and other projects directed by the Dean.
In May 2023, the Project Coordination Office merged with the former International
Affairs Office, which was responsible for public relations and language support, tostrengthen its functions. On the public relations front, the Office continues to focus
on an effective PR strategy including publishing new information about a variety ofscientific research conducted by IMSUT on its official website and social media.
The Office is also working to increase IMSUT’s international presence throughpress releases in both Japanese and English, press conferences, and IMSUT’s PR
magazines. On the language support side, the Office provides translation support
from Japanese to English to create a favourable working environment for theinternational members of IMSUT.

1.  Support for the management of institutional
projects
Kiyomi Nakagawa, Yoko Udagawa, Ayako Miyake
We served as a secretariat of institutional projects
implemented by the Institute of Medical Science, theUniversity of Tokyo (IMSUT) and supported their
management. The projects supported are as follows:- “Studies to Control Emerging, Re-emerging and Imported Infectious Diseases to Be Conducted in International Collaboration Sites in China” supported by
Japan Program of Infectious Diseases Research andInfrastructure from Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED)- “World-leading Innovative Graduate Study Program for Life Science and Technology (WINGS-LST)”
supported by the Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education from Japan Society

for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)- On-campus job project for student financial support
FY 2023
2.  
International Joint Usage/Research Center
Program of MEXT
Kaori Inoue, Junko Tsuzuku
IMSUT was authorized by MEXT as a Joint Usage/
Research Center in 2009 and began its activity in 2010.
The center’s main activity is to implement joint research projects, accepting applications from researchers at universities and research institutions inside andoutside Japan, to organize academic gatherings suchas international symposia, and meetings as well as
seminars for young researchers, and to publish activity reports on our website. In addition to theabove-mentioned activities, we edit documents per-

327
taining to various investigations, and submit evaluation reports to MEXT in collaboration with the Research Promotion Team, Research Support Division,
Administration Office. IMSUT was authorized as an
International Joint Usage/Research Center by MEXT
in November 2018 and approved to continue thecenter program for the next six years in line with
MEXT’s policy in December 2021. In this capacity, we
will continue our utmost efforts to further expand thisprogram both on domestic and international levels.
3.  Data acquisition about research and educational activities of IMSUT
Kiyomi Nakagawa, Ayako Miyake
We collected and stocked data using an originalformat to construct a data system available any timefor evaluation, submission of various reports, public
relation activities, and basic data for application of external funds
4.  Publication of Press Releases on IMSUT research results
Asako Shimizu
The Office issued press releases on various new
findings from IMSUT, including SARS-CoV-2,
Genomic medicine, intractable diseases, and distributed Japanese press releases to media institutions andscience journalists strategically. The Office also disseminated English press releases to the global community of science journalists through the official website, social media such as Twitter, along with theinternational public relations website “Eurek Alert!”.
5.  Publication of the Public Relations magazine
Asako Shimizu
The Office worked closely with the faculty members who belong to the public relations magazine
working group and published the PR magazine“PLATINUM STREET TIMES” in June and December
2023, featuring patient first medicine at IMSUT Hospital and IMSUT’s research achievements in the latest
gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and cell therapy.

6.  Language support
Kazuyo Ohara
In 2023, with the reclassification of the COVID-19
category to Class 5 and the gradual resumption of research activities by IMSUT members, the Office
worked closely with the administrative staff to provide the international members of IMSUT with important notices and updates in English. These included the Dean’s messages and notices encouraging themembers to actively participate in awareness-raisingseminars and training sessions led by the Administration Bureau. The Office also vigorously undertook
various translation and proofreading work, aiming tocreate a favourable working environment for the international members of IMSUT by offering tailoredlanguage services.
7.  Others
Kiyomi Nakagawa, Ayako Miyake, Yoko Udagawa
a. Educational activities:- Support for the call for application and selection of
the Outstanding Student Publication Award of IMSUT
b. International activities:- Support for conclusion and renewal of MOUs

武 川 睦 寛井 上 純一郎醍 醐 弥太郎“Platforms for Advanced Technologies and Research Resources” (platform.umin.
jp/) was launched in fiscal year (FY) 2022 under the new framework of the GrantinAid for Transformative Research Areas (A) by the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). It consists of six platforms, of which four
platforms are supporting researches in life science. They are the platforms thathave been developed from and strengthened the previous programs “Support
Programs for Three Fields in Life Sciences (Cancer, Genome and Brain Sciences)(FY 2010-2015) and “Platforms for Advanced Technologies and Research
Resources (FY2016-2021)”. “Platforms for Advanced Technologies and Research
Resources” aims to establish the academic research support platforms to efficiently
support various needs of the researchers in grants-in-aid. It also aims to work inclose cooperation with the relevant core bodies such as Inter-University ResearchInstitutes and Joint Usage/ Research Centers. This office mainly plays the role of
the representative secretariat of the “Committee on Promoting Collaboration in Life
Sciences” that is an academic collaborative foundation and cooperates with thefour platforms mentioned above. The objective is to contribute the further
development of the academic research in Japan through providing the cutting-edge
technologies and biological resources to the individual researchers on life science
KAKENHI (Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research). We also aim to promote
cooperation among researchers across support functions and cross-disciplinary, as
well as human resource development. To achieve the goal, the General
Management Group was organized to facilitate a close cooperation between four
platforms comprising 52 universities and 22 research institutions nationwide which
provide more than 70 support functions. This office was established in this Instituteas Dean’s Office in 2016 in order to strengthen the flexible management. Further,
we hold several Management Board Meetings in which 22 members participated:
four platform representatives and 18 board members, to construct a cooperative
system to facilitate a cross-over support functions and to provide technical support
with the universities and research institutions nationwide

The following activities have been performed under the management of this office in 2023.
1.		Planning and organization of the budgetary allocation.

2.		One-stop service for applicants through the homepage.
3.		Organization of the events for developing young
scientists and interdisciplinary researches.
4.		Holding public symposiums on the relation of life
science and society.
5.		Holding the explanatory meeting for possible applicants.
6.		Conducting public relations activities such as
holding the luncheon seminar, joining the exhibitions of various scientific meetings and posting
the article on The Science News.
7.		

In 2003, BioBank Japan (BBJ) started establishing one of the world’s largest
disease biobanks, creating a foundation for genomic and clinical research. From a
total of 267,000 patients representing 440,000 cases of 51 primarily multifactorialdiseases, BBJ has collected DNA, serum, medical records. BBJ is promoting theutilization of the registered samples and data acquired over the years, resulting inimportant research findings contributing to the realization of genomic medicine.
