Advanced Bioimaging Support (ABiS)

Promoting two efforts that support the community

“Advanced Bioimaging Support” and “JISEDAI-NOU” Project

 

Advanced Research Support promotes the following projects as part of its mission for the National Institute for Physiological Sciences.

 

●Advanced Bioimaging Support (ABiS)

Advanced Research Support is operating the administrative office of the Advanced Bioimaging Support  (ABiS), which is newly launched in 2022 as a project of FY2022–2027 Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas-Platforms for Advanced Technologies and Research Resources). The project has succeeded to and developed the previous program " Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas ― Platforms for Advanced Technologies and Research Resources " conducted between FY 2016 and 2021.
ABiS is a framework for supporting cutting-edge imaging techniques (observation of samples and data analysis) using various types of microscopy and MRI, for research conducted by core organizations such as the National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS) and the National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB). Through the collaborative research that these institutes promote, ABiS is forming a network with domestic partner organizations to provide custom-made support for bioimaging techniques.

●JISEDAI-NOU Project

Advanced Research Support has also operated the administrative office of the JISEDAI-NOU Project since FY2016. This project, which is led by members of the brain science–related Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, promotes efforts that support the brain science community, including planning symposia with a focus on cultivating young researchers, disseminating related information via a mailing list, and operating a website. It will contribute to the promotion of brain research by taking advantage of the established community that developed over the course of the Comprehensive Brain Science Network project (FY2010–2015, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas).

●Brain/MINDS Beyond

From November 2018, the National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS) has been adopted as the core organization of the newly launched AMED program, the Strategic International Brain Science Research Promotion Program (Brain/MINDS Beyond). This program aims at contributing to the flight of the brain research globally by enhancing collaboration with the domestic projects of other countries across the world. This office, serving as the core organization and operation secretariat, coordinates the domestic efforts for the international promotion of brain science research. It also works in close coordination with other program by the AMED, the Brain Mapping by Integrated Neurotechnologies for Disease Studies (Brain/MINDS).
