“From Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) to the World”
- Message from HFSPO -
The 21st century is called the "Age of Biology". Efforts to approach sophisticated and complex mechanisms of living organisms from various angles will continue to explode. Do you have an idea you'd like to test or work on in this vast potential life science field? Wouldn't you like to explore the profound world of research together with outstanding researchers not only from Japan but from all over the world? HFSP is here to help you.
On Tuesday, 16 May 2023, we will introduce HFSP at the Tetsumon Memorial Hall of the University of Tokyo. HFSP has programs of Research Grants for independent researchers and Postdoctoral Fellowships. It doesn't matter what your current research field is. This event is for researchers and students who are interested in the life science field and want to try out their own ideas and possibilities with a broad global perspective. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so please apply as soon as possible if you are interested.
