We are advancing research on the functions of high- polymer fucoidan.
Minoru Funakoshi, Ph.D. Chief researcher of R&D Division Main project: Research on the material sea algae and the character of fucoidan I am engaged in research on fucoidan from sea algae except mozuku and kinds of other polysaccharides to compare their effects. In addition, I am continuing to apply microbiological technique for revealing the functions of fucoidan. |
