As the first stage of the relocation program of The University of Osaka Suita Campus, RIMD moved to the present location in 1967.
While the building has been extended and reconstructed since then, the researchers have still been dedicating themselves in their study here for more than 50 years.
Now, let's look inside.
The left front side is Cutting-edge Research Building for Infectious Diseases, the back is the Main Building, and the right front side is Integrated Life Sciences Building.
It was built first at the time of the relocation in 1967.
There are laboratories, Administration, Central Instrumentation Laboratory where the instititute's shared equipment are installed, Biken Hall for seminars, etc.

Let's look into a laboratory!
An example of staff room: there are researchers' desks in one big room.
An example of professor's room: The professor's desk is behind the partition.
Photography is prohibited for some reasons.
There are various equipment.
Reagent rack
Laboratory chemicals are as important as ingredients for cooking, for they influence the result.
They should be always treated precisely.
Microscope
It has the device for detailed operations.
Mass Spectrometer / Scanning Electron Microscope
Various equipment are installed to be shared in our institute.
These equipment are available in the laboratory at any time, and professional technicians are employed to maintain and manage them.
