Research Abstract

Biomedical research is shifting its paradigm from molecular, cellular and animal-model analysis to human research. Now, comprehensive or validation studies on human materials become essential for understanding of their biomedical significance and for their clinical applications. Thus, based on the collaboration of scientists in Japan, a platform was constructed to collect, store, and provide materials with informed consent from cohorts of around 135,000 healthy individuals, around 300 brain tissues from autopsy, and around 114,000 clinical specimens, as well as cutting-edge analytical techniques of human materials. Then, in 6 years, this platform supported 4,997 projects and contributed to the publishment of 882 scientific articles, including state-of-the-art studies published in various top journals. This platform also encouraged interdisciplinary sciences through workshops for young scientists and cultivated human resources who devoted themselves to support activities.
