In February 2020, ASHBi’s core facility (SignAC) joined the “Innovative Support Alliance for Life Science (iSAL)”.

iSAL was established in 2018 to provide easy access to state-of-the-art equipment in Kyoto U to researchers inside/outside of the university. This alliance consists of core facilities from the Graduate School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the Graduate School of Biostudies, the Institute for Frontier Life and Medical Sciences, and ASHBi. iSAL has established an online system, called KUMaCo, which simplifies the booking and billing of equipment use. By joining iSAL, our advanced equipment in SignAC is more visible to researchers and supports a broader range of researches inside and outside of KU. It is also expected to stimulate joint research projects and industry-academia collaborations at ASHBi.
