Center for Advanced Biomedical Science and Swine Research

The Center for Advanced Biomedical Science and Swine Research (CABSS. Director: Professor Masahiro Sato) is a major translational research center at Kagoshima University and was formerly part of the Frontier Science Research Center (FSRC).

In order to advance priority research projects, especially those with the focus of bringing the "bench to the bedside," the CABSS became independent from the FSRC in April 2012.

The CABSS consists of three research divisions: (1) Organ Replacement and Xenotransplantation Surgery; (2) Gene Expression and Regulation; and (3) Cancer and Regeneration.
