Three missions to uncover the mystery of sleep,
and to solve sleep-related social problems

[ Our Missions ]

  • 1. To elucidate the fundamental mechanisms of sleep/wake regulation
  • 2. To elucidate molecular pathogenesis of sleep disorders and related diseases
  • 3. To develop preventive majors, diagnostic methods, and treatments for sleep

IIIS sets 3 missions to advance research activities; (1) Elucidation of the fundamental mechanisms of sleep/wake regulation, (2) Elucidation of molecular pathogenesis of sleep disorders and related diseases, (3) Development of treatments for sleep disorders.

To accomplish the missions above, IIIS has established a highly ambitious and novel research field, “sleep sciences”, by integrating basic biology, experimental medicine and pharmaceutical science.
