Exploring the nature of life and evolution, how life was created and evolved
Life on Earth originated from a single ancestor and has diversified through repeated evolution. Today, animals, plants, microorganisms, and other diverse organisms interact to create ecosystems. Biology is a discipline that analyzes these organisms broadly, from molecules and cells to ecosystems. It explores the nature of biological evolution and diversity and the universality of life phenomena. In today’s rapidly developing society, there are various problems related to living organisms, and there is a need for people who can correctly understand and solve these problems.
In this graduate course, approximately 30 full-time faculty members provide advanced research guidance to approximately 30 students in the first year of the Master’s course. With a small number of students per faculty member, students can receive thorough guidance. The department fosters outstanding human resources with deep knowledge and the ability to think logically who can play an active role in the research and development departments of universities, public research institutions, and companies. We will also develop human resources who will play an important role in the next generation of Japanese and international society.
