CEO Message
Since our founding in 1967, we have built trusted relationships with medical institutions and communities across Japan through clinical testing. Guided by our philosophy, “Good health is the first step toward happiness,” we consistently deliver accurate and rapid test data.
To contribute to Southeast Asia’s development and health, we offer genetic testing for hemoglobinopathies (e.g., thalassemia), a congenital hemolytic anemia. As the only facility in Japan offering this testing, we have served numerous medical institutions with over 15 years of expertise.
Early genetic testing for hemoglobinopathies enables timely detection and treatment, paving the way for a healthy, fulfilling life.
Leveraging Japan’s high-quality standards and technology, we aim to expand our clinical testing from Asia to the world, contributing to community development and health.
We humbly seek your continued support and guidance.
