Course Overview

分子細胞生物学の教科書を参照しながらオムニバス形式で講義を行う。分子細胞生物学の基礎的な知識に関して復習しながら、先端的な研究の実例も交えて生物学の幅広い知識を得る。Nature、Science、Current Biology、PNASなどで報告される最先端の研究成果に関して、専門分野以外の論文でも読みこなせるだけの素養を身に付ける。

Learning Achievement

Lectures will be given in omnibus format with reference to textbooks on molecular and cellular biology. While reviewing basic knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, broad knowledge of biology with examples of advanced research will be acquired. Students will acquire the ability to read the latest research results reported in Nature, Science, Current Biology, PNAS, etc., even in papers outside their specialized fields.

The main goal is to understand the content of textbook, “Molecular Biology of the Cell”. In addition, the purpose of the lesson is to develop the current status of research and problem-solving abilities by conducting lessons including the latest information including current problems and research development.
