The institute includes three international centers; (i) “Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM)” established as a World Premier International Research Center (WPI) center that aims to develop molecules to change the world, (ii) “Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI)” that explores the origin of particles and the universe, and (iii) “Institute for Advanced Research (IAR)” that supports development of new research fields through programs such as the Young Researchers Development Program. These three international hubs will cooperate to create new academic and social values via transcending the existing academic frameworks.
