From Japanese Microbiome Science to Global Opportunity
A new opportunity is opening for the microbiome research community in Japan.
On 24–25 September 2026 at The University of Tokyo, ISM–RIKEN Targeting Microbiota will welcome the Global Grants for Gut Health (GGGH) programme, jointly supported by Nature Portfolio and Yakult.
GGGH has already supported more than USD 2.5 million in microbiome research and awards three research grants of USD 100,000 each year.
In Tokyo, the programme will be presented directly to Japanese and international researchers, with a dedicated presentation explaining its objectives, impact and application process.
