Biomedical Ethics and Co-designRIKEN Hakubi Fellows ProgramYoung Chief Investigator ProgramIMS is engaged in medical research using human samples and data at various levels. In conducting such research, IMS recognizes the importance of protecting the rights of research participants, ensuring responsible handling of samples and information, complying with regulations, returning research results, and promot-ing dialogue with the general public. Recognizing the importance of Ethical, Legal and Social Implications/Issues (ELSI), the Laboratory for Biomedical Ethics and Co-design was established in IMS as the first program that bridges the fields of life sciences and social sciences.RIKEN offers junior PI (Principal Investigator) positions, the RIKEN Hakubi Fel-lows, for exceptionally talented researchers for a maximum of 7 years. RIKEN Hakubi Fellows are expected to independently engage in creative and ambitious research in natural and mathematical sciences, including research areas border-ing the humanities and social sciences. An important goal of the RIKEN Hakubi Program is to foster stimulating interactions among the Fellows with diverse backgrounds and to create an intellectual hub of scientists with different disci-plines within and beyond RIKEN.“Hakubi” is a phrase derived from classical Chinese story about five siblings in ancient China, all gifted, but the most brilliant one had white (haku) eyebrows (bi).The Young Chief Investigator Program (YCI) aims to provide a career path for young investigators who conduct multidisciplinary research that will bridge im-munology with other research fields. In this program, the selected Young Chief Investigator (age below 40) will head an independent research laboratory but will have an access to mentoring by multiple senior specialists in related research fields. Mentors provide guidance for experimental design, preparation of papers and presentations, promotion of international visibility, and obtaining research funding. The YCI laboratory will also share space, equipment and facilities with a host laboratory in IMS.Special Programs
