Juntendo University, Tokyo, established in 1838.

　The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDA), Juntendo University (JU) and RIKEN signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on April 21, 2014 at Juntendo University. To develop the partnership under MOU, three institutions agreed to establish specific cancer research themes and initially focusing on small goals whose products may lead to greater degrees of success in the future. Joint symposiums, faculty exchanges, visits, and other forms of direct communication were viewed as the key steps necessary to initiate collaboration. We have produced several collaborative cancer research projects, education activities and faculty exchanges.
