This laboratory aims to help create healthier and more hygienic lives, and contribute to improving the yield of food crops and agricultural productivity through our expertise in organic synthetic chemistry, biology, and formulation technologies. The laboratory is engaged in the development of new agricultural chemicals and functional fertilizers, more effective and safer household insecticides, and technologies for preventing infectious diseases, as well as efficient synthetic methods for pharmaceutical chemicals.
The laboratory collaborates with Sumitomo Chemical's overseas Group companies to incorporate the needs of global customers into our R&D activities, thereby contributing to the expansion and globalization of the company's business.

Using experimental farm facilities in Japan, America, and France, we undertake prompt and precise practicality assessment for new crop protection chemicals in our efforts to develop new products efficiently.
In addition, to make our existing products easier to use, we are working to develop new applications and new agrochemical formulations.

We are engaged not only in discovery of new household insecticides, but also in development of new applications and devices to create higher value-added products.
In addition, we seek to contribute to the prevention of malaria through the continued development and improvement of our Olyset^TM Net.

We are developing synthesis methods to produce pharmaceutical chemicals competitively by fully utilizing our organic synthesis technologies.
In addition, new, creative key technologies in asymmetric organic catalytic reactions, cross-coupling of aromatic compounds reactions and enzyme reactions are also under development.
