Announcement of Nakatani Award and Research Subsidy Recipients

  Nakatani Foundation of Electronic Measuring Technology Advancement (Tokyo ; hereafter, the "Foundation") today announced the one recipient of Nakatani Award and the eleven recipients of its research subsidies for fiscal 2010. Sysmex Corporation (HQ: Kobe; president: Hisashi Ietsugu) has been a financial supporter of the Foundation for many years.

  The Foundation was established in April 1984, endowed principally by Sysmex and its founder and first president, the late Taro Nakatani, with the mandate of "promoting advances in electronic measuring technology as a foundation for industrial technology, in order to contribute to the development of Japanese society and its economy as well as the betterment of national life." Since it began, the Foundation has provided award and annual subsidies for research in the field of in vivo electronic measuring technology, awarding a total of 521 million yen to 278 research projects over the last 27 years.
