Press Releases and Research News

The term "jitsugaku (science)," as used by Yukichi Fukuzawa, the founder of Keio University University, does not refer to practical learning for immediate application but rather to "science." This scientific approach of empirically discovering truth and solving problems is the "spirit of jitsugaku" that lies at the core of Keio Pharmacy.

In this section, we present press releases and news on the latest research based on spirit of jitsugaku.

Drug Discovery Research Center

By integrating the functions of Faculty of Pharmacy and Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, we aim to establish a drug discovery research consortium and carry out initiatives such as establishing research projects, acquiring intellectual property rights and promoting technology transfer, and supporting student research activities. Students also play an active role, contributing the results of their research back to society.
