Keihanna Research-Complex project：Human Resource Development

Introduction of Members

Leader of Human Resource Development（Also Leader of Shared Use of Facilities）Yoshiaki Watanabe(Professor, Department of Biomedical Information, Faculty of Life and Medical Science, Doshisha University)

People are the most important and fundamental element for both an area and organization. To make the Keihanna area a ‘Sea of Producers’ full of creativity and innovation, I will nurture individuals with rich humanity who consider and explore the essence of things.
