OIST Professor, Kenji Doya, and collaborators at four Japanese institutes have received a MEXT Supercomputing Grant to simulate the whole brain network and to develop brain-like artificial intelligence.

New computational tool and mathematical model open ways for further discoveries in animal genome evolution.

OIST’s first startup, Okinawa Protein Tomography Ltd., capitalizing on Prof. Ulf Skoglund’s advanced structural imaging technology, has been launched.

Dr. Chuya Shinzato of the Marine Genomics Unit and colleagues have established DNA markers that enables scientists to study genetic diversity and connectivity among the Acropora coral populations.

An agreement of scientific and academic cooperation was concluded between OIST and the University of Tokyo.

Dr. Shinzato and his collaborators have successfully sequenced the genetic information of the host coral and its symbionts simultaneously.
