Learning Utilizing the Physiological Functions of Animals, Plants, and Microorganisms
Course of Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology explores life phenomena from a chemical perspective and provides the knowledge necessary to address key issues related to human health, food, energy, and the environment.
Key learning points
- Education on life phenomena based on chemistry
- Experiments and lectures on functions and utilization of animals, plants, and microorganisms
- Experiments and lectures on food production and the use of functions latent in foods
- Enhancement of problem-based education such as student experiments and graduation thesis research in each specialized field
Aimed human resources development
We aim to develop leaders who can explore the biological functions of animals, plants, and microorganisms from a biochemical perspective and apply these technologies not only to contribute to the development of local communities but also to thrive on a global scale.
Advanced Research of the Course
In the laboratories, a variety of living organisms, such as plants, mice, and microorganisms, serve as research subjects to understand the biochemical basis of life and to develop environmentally friendly technologies. These studies include investigating the immune system of animals, examining the functional properties of plants, generating electricity from organic waste using microbial fuel cells, exploring the functions of regional foods using cultured cells and mice, and understanding the biological mechanisms and physiological functions of enzyme.
