Kyoto and Bayer will be working together on research projects for the next two years.

Kyoto University’s Office of Society – Academia Collaboration for Innovation and Bayer HealthCare are entering a two year collaboration agreement. The partnership will identify research for collaborative projects in the areas of cardiology, oncology, hematology, gynaecology and ophtalmology.

The two have also set out three wider goals to achieve within the next two years. These include the promotion of collaborative research among academia, industries and the government, the management and utilisation of Kyoto’s intellectual properties, and the support of spin-outs.
