Chugai LSP Yokohama is a center for drug discovery research, which is the starting point of value creation at Chugai. By integrating the existing domestic research centers of
'We are very pleased to announce the completion of construction of Chugai Life Science
A variety of design features were adopted in the construction of Chugai LSP Yokohama to induce innovation through communication of researchers from different fields and the fusion of their knowledge. The 300-meter corridor named 'Spine' that connects laboratories and researchers' offices is the backbone of Chugai LSP Yokohama. By setting up spaces for meetings and collaboration in the Spine, where researchers will be walking around daily, this concept aims to stimulate conversations and lively discussions among these researchers. As a state-of-the-art research facility, Chugai LSP Yokohama exploits artificial intelligence (AI)-based drug discovery and automation incorporating robotics technology, in order to significantly improve the productivity and quality of research. Chugai hopes that the center's cutting-edge research and convenient location will attract excellent talents and enhance our relationship with external researchers both inside and outside
The concept of the research center is 'Green Innovation Village - State-of-the-art creative research laboratories scattered in the greenery.' Lush greenery is brought into the exterior of the facility and designed to harmonize with neighboring communities. Measurements are adopted in pursuit of coexistence with the environment, sustainability, and safety. This includes saving energy by using the latest lighting and air conditioning systems and creating energy by using natural resources to reduce the environmental burden. In addition to having a portion of the site as parks provided to the city of Yokohama, an area on the west side of the research center has been designated as a greenway and will be opened to the public during the day as a promenade. After the facility is operational, the sports ground will be available for public use. Furthermore, a hands-on facility named 'Bio Lab' will provide programs for children and students to contribute to the local community and the development of human resources in the biotechnology field.
