Hokkaido University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences established an affiliated drug discovery science research and education center, Center for Research and Education on Drug Discovery of Hokkaido University (CRED), in 2011 to promote academia drug discovery research. We have set up over the last 8 years the ‘state of the art' instruments necessary for chemical screening, and provided the expertise for drug discovery to novice users, supported by the projects, such as "Basis for Supporting Innovative Drug Discovery and Life Science Research". We also organize a "Platform for medical care and drug discovery" network with related academic departments and universities, Hokkaido University hospital and pharmaceutical companies mainly in Hokkaido Area.
