募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
The World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) program promotes the establishment of research centers that attract world-class researchers, implement changes in the existing academic system, and forge new academic fields.
https://www.bio2q.keio.ac.jp
Bio2Q addresses the question of how human homeostasis is regulated by the epithelial, immune, neural, and metabolic systems, with an emphasis on microbiome analysis. The center will thereby establish a new form of life science aimed at understanding human multiorgan homeodynamics at resolutions higher than those achieved so far. Bio2Q will implement quantum computing together with artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze multiomics data and elucidate the multiorgan interaction pathways underlying human disease. Furthermore, we aim to also establish a reverse-translation workflow to decipher the causal relationships within the newly uncovered pathways.
In line with the WPI missions of globalization and diversity, when applicants are judged to be equally qualified based on fair and impartial criteria, international and female applicants will be given preference. The official language of the center is English. -
