KAN aims to discover innovative ideas and technology that lead to new pharmaceutical development, focusing on cellomics in order to explore how cells interact with each other and orchestrate to shape vital activities of a human body. KAN will mainly target neurology areas such as Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease (ăls`hī'mərz, ôls–), degenerative disease of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex that leads to atrophy of the brain and senile dementia. and Parkinson's disease, oncology areas such as malignant tumor, metastasis metastasis /me·tas·ta·sis/ (me-tas´tah-sis) pl. metas´tases 1. transfer of disease from one organ or part of the body to another not directly connected with it, due either to transfer of pathogenic microorganisms or to and vascularization vascularization /vas·cu·lar·iza·tion/ (vas?ku-ler-i-za´shun) 1. the process of becoming vascular. 2. angiogenesis. 3. the surgically induced development of vessels in a tissue. , and immunology and inflammation areas including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease inflammatory bowel disease n.

The research is expected to produce outcome for use in translational research from basic study for drug discovery, which will likely contribute to the R&D activities of Eisai worldwide. The reinforced facilities will allow KAN to take advantage of the bio cluster district on the site to accelerate research through the extended network of researchers who work there.
