The CHOZEN PROJECT and the SAKIGAKE PROJECT : Aiming topromote the world-class research projects at Kanazawa University.

The CHOZEN PROJECT aims at forming the research core that accumulates

superior talented brains by reinforcing the research field in which Kanazawa University
has strength.
5 projects have been adopted as the CHOZEN PROJECT.

Development of Nanoscience Research Base by Innovative Atomic Force Microscopy TechniquesThis project led by Professor Takeshi Fukuma aims to strengthen the research ability andfoundation of sustainable development of Kanazawa University in the nanoscience field,
through atomic force microscopy (AFM) research that is already at the world's highest
standard.
The origin of physical properties of all materials comes from the structure of the nanoscale.
For this reason, most of life phenomenon can be explained through the behaviors of atoms
and molecules. Revealing the phenomenon in nanoscale helps understanding the material
properties and natural phenomenon, and it has demand in various academic/industrial fields.
Kanazawa University seeks the world-leading innovative nanoscience research of the AFM
technology to meet these demands. This project sets up common-use facilities, or “sharelaboratories,” with the high-speed AFM or super-resolution AFM, and establishes a firm
position as a world-class research core and bringing up young researchers through the promotion of internal exchange among
researchers and external exchanges between research groups.
We expect that this project will bring innovative progress in various fields by visualizing protein behaviors related to vital
phenomena or illness and interfacial phenomena such as growth of a crystal, adsorption of protein, and metal corrosion at theatomic/molecular level.

Establishment of Research Base for Nutrition-Related Diseases

This project led by Professor Shuichi Kaneko focuses on the research of liver nutritionrelated diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cancer, andorganopathy caused by excess nutrition, which leads to the development of an advanced
medical method of disease prevention/diagnose/treatment.
In 2010, for the first time in the world, the research group led by Professor Kaneko
showed that liver produces selenoprotein-P (Professor Kaneko named it “Hepatokines”)
as a hormone and it has inﬂuence on organs in the whole human body through a newmechanism. Previously visceral fat was regarded as the major factor of “nutritionrelated diseases,” but recently the significance of liver function is gradually becoming
recognized by the review in a widely-known academic journal that quoted Professor
Kaneko’s research achievement that fatty liver also has inﬂuence on diseases such as

This project led by Professor Shin’ichi Nakamura promotes further developments of theresearch, education, and international contribution conducted by the Center for Cultural
Resource Studies of the Institute of Human and Social Sciences, and aims to establish aworld-class research center for the “cultural resource management”.
“Cultural resource management” is concerned with both tangible and intangible cultural
heritages and regards them as resources for the future development of mankind. It
evaluates the value of cultural heritages through academic research, designs the methodsof restoration and preservation, and takes measures for effective utilization. The Centerfor Cultural Resource Studies has given some outstanding results in these activities,
Field school in Vietnam
especially in the fields of archaeology, mural painting studies, and Buddhist iconography.
This project aims at not only establishing superiority of above-mentioned fields of study but also promoting the integration ofarts and sciences in cultural resource studies. In addition, we strive to disseminate information on progress and achievements of
the investigations through publishing an open access online journal and to foster young researchers through our own program forbrain circulation.

Establishment of the Developmental Base for the Innovative Material Science Using SupramoleculeThis project led by Professor Motohiro Mizuno aims to create an innovative supramoleculematerial through a new idea developed by the combination of research know-how and to
improve research competitiveness. This is made possible by the combination of research groups
from science and engineering fields and the exchange of supramolecule techniques of eachfield.
Supramolecule is the aggregation of molecules equipped with new functions that individual
molecules do not have. By synthesizing single molecule with highest accuracy and analyzing/
controlling intermolecular forces of attraction or sequence of molecules, it becomes possible
to create an innovative material with brand-new function. This research field attracts muchattention because the diversification and sophistication of functional materials is in highdemand.
At Kanazawa University, the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering merged in 2008 to form the College of Scienceand Engineering as educational organization and the Institute of Science and Engineering as research organization. In this project,taking an advantage of the fusion between fundamental and applied research, we aim at the development of next-generationenergy, environmental materials and materials related to improvement of life quality. We are sure to play a key role as “theStronghold of East Asia” by reinforcing collaboration with research institutions in the East Asia where supramolecule research is
rapidly growing.

The SAKIGAKE PROJECT aims to nurture the next generation of researchgroups at our university and to enforce the research core and educational power.
10 projects have been adopted as the SAKIGAKE PROJECT.

diabetes in addition to visceral fat.
We hope to establish prophylaxis and treatment method that is most suitable for individuals by the effective use of medical
information, the promotion of research which fuses advantage of research on nutrition metabolism and diseases, research related
to gene/cell/organ, and network research.

◦Creation of Revolutional Machine Material Combining Bio-innovative Design and Braiding Technology

Innovative Project of Research Base for Cancer Progression◦Fabrication of Innovative Energy-saving Devices

This project led by Professor Masanobu Oshima plans to enforce function of three coreresearch programs of the Cancer Research Institute of Kanazawa University: “Cancer Stem
Cell Program”, “Cancer Microenvironment Program” and “Molecules Target Search Program.”
Furthermore, it should be noted that integrated research of a genetically modified mice based on
the latest genome information and transplantation model to a super immunodeficiency mice atthe newly launched “ Innovative Cancer Model Research Center” will be promoted.
The present medical technology has achieved overall 80% or higher survival rate of cancer
patients by early detection, whereas recurred/metastatic cancer has 15% or lower rate ofsurvival. For this reason, it is important to elucidate the mechanism of relapse of cancer (cancer
progression mechanism) to improve the survival rate. This project focuses on revealing primarycancer development mechanism through the findings regarding new molecular mechanism ofcancer progression by the three programs at the Institute. We expect to maximize research outcome through cross sectional fusionof these three research program and the Center.
In addition, in cooperation with the other cancer research institutes in Japan and other research fields inside the Kanazawa
University, the collaborative investigation will be promoted, and resources acquired by the invention of a new cancer model
developed at the Center will be useful research tools to progress the research field, which enhances the research core function of
the research base.
