Project members

We are committed to providing innovative treatments to patients through iPS cell technology.

At T-CiRA, several novel research projects focusing on the creation of medical applications of iPSC are underway, led by nine principal investigators (PI) with Co-principal investigators (Co-PI) from Takeda.
