| 1996: | Laboratory of Molecular Medicine was remodeled into Human Genome center (Laboratory of Molecular Medicine and Laboratory of Genome Technology). Donation Laboratory of Hemopoietic Factors (CHUGAl). |
| 1997: | Genome knowledge Discoverly System (HITACHI). Department of Advanced Medical Science (Hospital). |
| 1998: | Molecular and Developmental Biology was renamed to the same DNA Biology and Embryo Engineering and Molecular Oncology were made to change to Center for Experimental Medicine Transplantation Surgery was renamed to Pediatric Hematology Oncology. |
| 1999: | Welfare Building "Shirokane Hall" was renovated. Auditorium was renovated. Old Parasitology Building was renovated new "SNPs Building". |
| 2000: | Old 19 departments were reorganized to 3 departments (Microbiology-lmmunology, Cancer Biology and Basic Medical Sciences). Clinical departments were reorganized to Advanced Clinical Research Center. Three divisions (Laboratory of Sequence Analysis, Laboratory of Functional Genomics, Laboratory of Functional in Silico) were added in Human Genome Center. Laboratory of Culture Collection was abrogated. Donation Division "Genetic Diagnosis (Otsuka)" was established. |
