Foundation: 1874

Mission: The National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) conducts testing, research, and studies toward the proper evaluation of the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products, foods, and the numerous chemicals in the living environment. The results of these activities are reflected in welfare administration to ensure and/or improve Japanese citizens' health and their environment. In this way, NIHS's operations are intimately connected with the lives of all citizens, and the results obtained through its work are reflected on their daily living. Issues pertaining to human health change with the times. Many new pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and substances used in daily living are being created. Given this, the NIHS serves to control the products that are generated by science and technology to make sure that they truly benefit the general public. In other words, NIHS works to ensure harmony between scientific technology and human beings. This kind of research is referred to as "regulatory science", and it is an area in which we, the staff of the NIHS, actively pursue each and every day.
