About Us
What is APRO?
APRO (Advance Pharma Research Office) is an independent research and education initiative that supports pharmacists in developing practice-based pharmacy services grounded in evidence, policy, and local context.
We work at the intersection of research, education, and professional training, helping pharmacists transform knowledge into real-world practice.
APRO began in Japan, focusing on pharmacist-led research and professional development, and now extends its activities across Asia through collaborative, context-sensitive programs.

Our Reach
From Japan to Asia
APRO operates along two closely connected axes: Japan and Asia.
In Japan, we focus on strengthening pharmacists' research capabilities and professional development, supporting practice-based research and education rooted in local healthcare systems.
Across Asia, we collaborate with universities, professional organisations, and practitioners to adapt knowledge, frameworks, and educational programmes to diverse cultural, historical, and healthcare contexts.
Rather than exporting a single model, APRO emphasises contextualization, collaboration, and stepwise growth.

Local context first. Shared learning across borders. Sustainable growth through collaboration.
