| 1 | Human damage prevention and simulation countermeasure project in cases of large-scale disaster and biological threat
(1) Overview
In addressing large-scale disaster and bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases, this is an innovative and interdisciplinary research project as: 1) to collect and analyze the historiography from the field of life sciences and study on the scientific measures coping with biological weapons and infectious diseases; 2) to collect and analyze historical records of disasters from geographical and historical fields; 3) to hand them over to computer engineering field to have them to formulate actions of SDF who are involved in minimizing the damage by forecasting diffusion; 4) to conduct a simulation of ultra-wide evacuation which is larger than those on a conventional scale thereby ensuring the security of citizens in such a scenario.

| 2 | Basic research project on protection of emerging infectious disease and bio/chemical terrorism
(1) Overview
The importance of countermeasures against infectious disease such as Ebola Hemorrhagic fever (which became a global threat) and domestic Dengue fever, and the ones against bio/chemical terrorism, is increasing day by day. In this project, we aim at searching viral infection mechanisms and mechanisms of factors related to bio/chemical terrorism, and establishing of the preventive measures against, and the direct countermeasures toward, such an event at the time of outbreak.

| 3 | 【Finished】Stereoselective synthesis using new Menthyl asymmetric catalyst
(1) Overview
In recent years, research of preventive disasters against bioterrorism and others, is a major agenda in the world. In this situation, this research project is aiming to find new measures of preventive disasters through viewing the biological body at the molecular structure level, and synthesizing asymmetric compounds streoselectively, and exploring the new catalyst.

| 4 | Construction of ultrasensitive protein identification system for infectious disease countermeasures
(1) Overview
This research aims to establish a general and convenient method for protein extraction and digestion from complex biological samples in trace quantities. Moreover, it aims to construct an ultrasensitive protein identification system involving liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze the proteolytic digests directly.

| 5 | Basic research on hygiene control in a time of disaster
(1) Overview
As part of securing safety in disaster zones at home and abroad, we aim to prevent health damage caused by microorganisms or microbial produced toxins. We will investigate past cases and do basic research with regards to microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, parasites and others, in order to reach the best countermeasures.
