Molecular imaging will revolutionize diagnosis and drug discovery
Our motto is "to find a straight line", from basic research to human applications. I believe real basic research should connect directly to society.

Contributing to drug discovery and biology through the synthesis of new molecules
Using the molecules we have synthesized and working together with biologists, we want to do the sort of research that leads people to say, "the mechanism behind this biological phenomenon would never have been solved if that molecule didn't exist."

Creating new plants with heavy ion beams
My field of specialty is "accelerator biology". You can do all kinds of new things in the field of biology when you use an accelerator. I think I may have the makings of an accelerator biology missionary.

Completing superstring theory-the ultimate theory of matter
What is matter? What is force? What is space-time? We are attempting to complete the "ultimate theory" that Einstein was never able to solve.
The challenge of creating a 10 petaflops computer
The creation of a 10 petaflops computer is being driven by our dream of generating new methods, accelerating our research, and opening a whole new world.
