Nissui's R&D Department is developing products that respond to the evolving needs of Japanese aging society, while keeping a close eye on changes taking place in the pharmaceutical industry.

At the Central Research Laboratory, marketing and R&D departments team up to conduct fundamental, applied, and commercialization research. We have also set up a special department called the Innovation Research Center to drive fundamental research and lay the groundwork for future research in the pharmaceutical and diagnostic fields.

In the pharmaceutical field, research is focused on creating safe, effective metabolic function boosters made of natural ingredients for middle-aged and elderly people, and health food supplements that help to improve vitality and to prevent disease.
In the diagnostics field, we are developing reagents that allow quick, easy, and accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders and bacterial/viral diseases. In the non-clinical fie1d, research is focused on developing HACCP-compliant microbiological testing regents, environmental testing reagents, and biotechnologybased products with which we can explore new business opportunities.
Advanced research underlies our continuous development of new, innovative products in a host of areas.
