Due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, the coastline of Iwanuma city was severely damaged and it is currently overcoming the 10th anniversary of the natural disaster. The city has taken severe precautions and have been conducting disaster prevention drills and reconstruction. 岩沼 学習塾 Millennium Hope Hills Exchange Center located inside the park has pictures and videos of Iwanuma City at the time of the disaster and the reconstruction process of Iwanuma City. The video will provide multilingual subtitles; Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean.
Its annual output can be thousands of high-grade whole human genome sequences. To perform such high throughput sequencing without any sample mix-ups, we set up highly automated experimental pipelines for sample preparations. Using not only conventional next-generation sequencers but also so-called long-read sequencers, various types of human genome diversities, such as single-nucleotide variants and structural variants, are being analyzed.



Make your own original set of chopsticks from wood gathered through sustainable forest thinning.
We will assess brain gray and white matter volumes, white matter integrities, white matter lesions, brain perfusions, and brain vessel structures through several scanning protocols. We are investigating how daily habits or genetic factors influence the brain, its cognitive functions, and psychological conditions in order to maintain a healthy brain and good cognitive functions for life. Based on these studies, we are considering health damage such as PTSD after the disaster. The building for the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization was designed for Tohoku Medical Megabank Project and the construction of that completed in 2014. The building has seismically isolated structure and some characteristics specialized for the project. Around 300 people are working in this building for establishing the genome medicine.

It stores not only liquid samples such as blood components, but also various types of samples, including tissue specimens from surgery. All the biological specimens are anonymized and preserved at appropriate temperatures for future research. ※TAPS-15T is a training equipment for education and training of TAPS . This facility is close to Sendai Airport and can be easily accessed by car. If you are near the Sendai Airport and would like to experience the revitalization process of Iwanuma city please check it out. After the damage of the 2011 Tohoku tsunami, citizens were not able to live on this land but in order to revitalize it they have created sheep farms to use for herbicide.
Sendai Community Support Center was established as an assessment center for TMM CommCohort Study and TMM BirThree Cohort Study performed by Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization. We attempt to make the basis for next-generation medicine by analyzing the genome information and make storage for these big data. Participants are explained individually by Genome Medical Research Coordinator for the informed consent to join our project. In the center, there are more than ten equipment for medical examinations such as body composition analysis, bone density measurement, respiratory function test and oral health check-up.

We also have MRI facilities, rooms for related cognitive assessment, and the counseling rooms for mental healthcare and genetic counseling. The cutting-edge omics analysis facility is able to analyze and quantify, to a high degree of precision, the various metabolites and proteins that are contained in the blood and urine samples stored in the biobank facility. Three high-field and high-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy system and 13 units of various types of mass spectrometry system (LC-MS, GC-MS, etc.) have been installed for supporting wide variety of analysis.
Minnanoie in Iwanuma conducts Iwanuma reconstruction rural tourism and vegetables grown in this rural tourism area are used for gelato. Millennium Hope Hills is a park representing the reconstruction of Iwanuma. The memorial monument of the Great East Japan Earthquake is located inside the park. With a shared lounge, the 1-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom.
Use a special ink to paint a T-Shirt with a pre-printed pattern on it. We have different T-Shirt types with original Sendai style images and several other designs. Use a special ink to paint a T-shirt with a pre-printed pattern on it. We have different T-shirt types with original Sendai style images and several other designs. The TMM biobank is one of the largest population-based biobanks in Japan that stores millions of biological specimens in the state of the art storage systems.

Three types of microarray systems are used according to different purpose of projects. Each system is equipped with a Laboratory Information Management System to record samples and reagents information, conditions of dispensing robots, and others for the process control. The microarray data are sent to a supercomputer system, quality checks and genotype imputation are performed. Iwanuma City, located near Sendai airport, experienced devastating damage from the tsunami following the Great East Japan Earthquake.
