Exploring the genome to empower a world where individuality flourish.
A genome represents the complete genetic blueprint of a human being, and it is the fundamental unit that defines individuality.
No two individuals possess the exact same genome, making each person uniquely distinct.
In the past, scientists were eager to sequence the human genome, only to realize that “sequencing the genome doesn’t tell us anything.”
We believe that the more we delve into understanding, the greater the mysteries we encounter and this is what makes the exploration of life sciences so fascinating.
We are exploring the mechanisms of “human” existence.
Our goal is to uncover the differences between individuals through genome-level exploration.
This vision is based on our desire to create a society in which each individual can understand the differences between themselves and others and make choices through the exploration of ‘human’.
Visualize medical care and promote personalized medicine
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for patients who have struggled with various treatments yet failed to see improvement, by delivering accurate information and appropriate care.
Today, information on skin diseases and treatment options is overwhelmingly diverse, making it challenging for patients to identify the most suitable approach among hundreds of possibilities.
We aim to solve these challenges by helping patients find the best treatment for them.
Patients can gain a better understanding of their own skin
We collect and visualize data about an individual’s skin while providing solutions to improve dermatitis.
“What kind of treatment did the person receive and what were the results?“
By gathering this information and applying it to research, we hope to create a society in which people suffering from dermatitis can access the most suitable treatments fo them.
We provide a medical experience where doctors and patients collaborate closely, empowering patients to deepen their own understanding of their own skin.
A telemedicine service for patients with chronic skin disease such as eczema.
Patients can record the changing symptoms and the report is shared to dictors for careful consultation.
Guided by doctors through drug-reduction therapy, the service aims to achieve remission.
