Founded in 1939 as one of Japan's seven prestigious imperial universities, Nagoya University has expanded far beyond its original roots as a medical training college in the 1870s. The university today is renowned for its formidable research achievements across the natural and physical sciences. No fewer than four of the ten Japanese scientists to be awarded a Nobel Prize in the 21st century are affiliated with Nagoya University: two Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, Ryoji Noyori and Osamu Shimomura, and two Nobel Laureates in Physics, Toshihide Maskawa and Makoto Kobayashi.
