Our Mission

Serendipity Lab operates as a premier virtual consortium, gathering the world's foremost scientists committed to pioneering serendipity-driven innovations in biology and medicine. Our core mission is the advancement of analytical technologies that offer high-throughput, high-content, or high-dimensional capabilities, such as fluorescence imaging, super-resolution microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, quantitative phase imaging, mass spectrometry, microfluidics, deep learning, gene editing, proteomics, and DNA/RNA sequencing. While the network prominently features leading experts from Pacific nations, it welcomes and celebrates contributions from luminaries worldwide. With its central hub at the University of Tokyo, Japan, Serendipity Lab enjoys the robust financial supports of JSPS Core-to-Core Program, White Rock Foundation, and Fujihara Foundation of Science. Beyond research, Serendipity Lab is also dedicated to molding the next echelon of global leaders. By offering students and emerging scientists a platform to engage in cross-disciplinary research, the lab ensures they are primed to thrive in a competitive global arena.
