National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) launched a new research Institute named Bioproduction Research Institute on the 1st of April, 2010. After careful reviewing process and discussion, former two Institutes have been merged into one that focuses bioscience and bioengineering research fields.

-
BioproductionWe analyze microbial and plant resources using molecular biology, biology, and information science techniques, and apply them to high-functioning and highly efficient substance production.
-
Primary IndustryWe are developing various technologies to support primary industries, including crop functionalization, suppression of plant diseases using microorganisms, aquaculture technologies focusing on inter-species interactions, and freezing techniques utilizing bio-derived antifreeze proteins.
-
Environmental IssuesWe are exploring and utilizing the physiological and ecological functions of microorganisms to develop technologies for the decomposition of environmental pollutants and the effective utilization of underutilized biomass resources.
-
BioenergyWe are developing new energy creation technologies such as the synthesis of artificial compounds using microorganisms and the high-efficiency optimization of underground microbial energy metabolism.
-
Health CareWe are developing substance production technologies that contribute to health enhancement, such as the high-functionalization of biomolecules, modification of microbial metabolic functions, and production of functional components using plants.
