Ocular Sciences

Senju Laboratory of Ocular Science aims to identify the molecules responsible for ocular disease, using the most advanced information and technologies. We create original ophthalmic medicines based on nucleic acid and protein structures and functions. To achieve this goal, two research laboratories have been established in Kobe, Japan and in Beaverton, Oregon (USA).

  • Kobe Laboratory

    Kobe Laboratory is located in Business Support Center for Biomedical Research Activities (BMA) in Port Island Phase II, which is the core of Kobe Medical Industry Development Project. This laboratory is situated between Kobe Airport and the central area of Kobe city. It functions as the main section for basic research on the development of ophthalmologic medicines. The Kobe Laboratory is a stimulating environment for research since it is in the midst of Kansai medical industry cluster. It is the international base for research at Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

  • Oregon Laboratory

    Basic research on the molecular basis of ocular diseases is also performed at the Oregon Health & Science University (West Campus, OHSU), located in Beaverton, OR (USA). By opening the Oregon Laboratory, very close and productive scientific collaborations were established between Japanese and American scientists at OHSU. In order to expand such research, the Oregon Laboratory was recently enlarged in remodeled labs situated at the former Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology on the OHSU West Campus. This laboratory has also played a major role in insuring smooth collaborations between Senju and other institutions in North America.
