授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course [ENG] | | | 【Standardized across all programs】 The earth is full of living organisms in a variety of environments, and humans coexist there. In addition, most of the foods we consume, including agricultural products, are derived from the living organisms. From microorganisms to animals and plants, and from molecular-level events in cells to global environmental events in forests and oceans, the field of life science has expanded greatly. Furthermore, life science is the basis for many important issues in our daily lives, such as regenerative medicine, genome editing, functional foods, environmental purification, and bioenergy. In this lecture, students will learn the basic knowledge of modern life science, and deepen their understanding of what kind of research is currently being conducted at universities and companies. |
