Cooperative Research Station (CRS) in Southeast Asia
ICBiotech launched the Cooperative Research Station (CRS) in Southeast Asia at Chalermprakiat Building, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, in 2002 through the generous support of Mahidol University. The CRS provides a space for Southeast Asian and Japanese researchers to collaborate on environmental sustainability research. This work includes sustainable natural resource utilization and the development of biological and genetic technologies. The CRS also functions as a cyber lecture program operated by Osaka University and coordinated by Thai universities. The CRS hopes to support both prospective students and alumni of Osaka University.
Mahidol University (MU) and Osaka University (OU) jointly established the MU-OU Collaborative Research Center (MU-OU CRC) for Bioscience and Biotechnology. The MU-OU CRC builds on the already active research of both universities to strengthen research cooperation in the fields of biosciences and biotechnology.
