Chemical Resource Development Research Unit
Unit Leader
Shinya Hagihara
A compound library is an indispensable research tool for promoting biofunctional regulation research and medical and agrochemical research using chemical biology research methods. The Unit promotes collaborative research based on the compound library infrastructure for the purpose of effective utilization of the compound library. The Unit supports resource science research and chemical biology research by providing compound libraries and compound information, and promotes collaboration in these fields.
In April 2025, the Unit Leader of the Compound Resource Development Research Unit was handed over from Dr. Hiroyuki Osada to Dr. Shinya Hagiwara. Dr. Osada has been working as the Specially Appointed Director of the Research Institute for Microbial Chemistry and Visiting Principal Investigator of the Research Unit since FY2025.
