These things actually decide the research results. When scientists have established their subject, they will seek for the technology and materials to elucidate it based on a certain amount of information. After starting the research, the experiments are earnestly proceeded as planned, and the researchers repeat them in trial and errors, finally resulting in scientific results through exhausting efforts. Frequently, researchers obtain an unexpected scientific discovery. However, such chances will not occur unless the experiments are actively carried out.

The ATDC was launched to enhance the technological standards in BSI. The current constitution (refer to the Organization chart) and future plans will be introduced here.

In the Animal Facility, animals are cared for by experts, and the establishment of equipment to rear them meets international standards. Thus, the Animal Facility supplies reliable high quality laboratory animals. Other activities in this Facility include mutant animal generation, production of germ-free animals, pathological and microbiological analysis of animals, and cryopreservation of embryos and gametes. Precise behavioral observation and genetical analysis of animals will be carried out in the near future.

In the division of Common Instrumentations many relevant instruments under the items shown in the Organization chart have been installed with expert operators. Since the use of advanced instruments as one of means of research is very important, RR steadily provides new analytical instruments by surveying requests from researchers.
