OIE Collaborating Centers are centers of expertise in a specific designated sphere of competence relating to the management of general questions on animal health issues. 2014 May, the Division of Health and Environmental Sciences (DHES) of Department of Veterinary Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Rakuno Gakuen University, was appointed to be a part of consortium as the OIE Joint Collaborating Centre for Food Safety, together with the Veterinary Public Health Centre (VPHC) in Singapore, and the Food Safety Research Center at the University of Tokyo which until this time had been the sole OIE Collaborating Centre. We work with the two centers to contribute food safety worldwide through our education and research.
