Moving All Facilities to New Location, Ariake
Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research moved all research, hospital and related facilities at Otsuka to the Ariake district located in Tokyo’s new Waterfront Subcenter on March 1, 2005. The JFCR has built research laboratories and a hospital facility capable of meeting today’s various needs at the new Ariake location. The Foundation facilities currently offer a combination of general hospital and backup medical facility function for use in times of disaster according to the request of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on the one hand, and a research capability that aims to further expand the scope of research achievements through renewed effort and determination and raising the objectives set out in the Foundation’s mission at the time of establishment.
