Course description and aims
This course for doctoral students is aimed at developing expertise by learning latest findings and frontier researches. Distinguished researchers in life sciences or outstandingly active researchers, Erika Sasaki (Central Institute for Experimental Animals (CIEA)), Hitoshi Takizawa (International Research Center for Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University) and Yasuhisa Matsui (Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer (IDAC), Tohoku University) in various fields such as development, differentiation and regeneration give introductory and detailed lectures of the latest research frontiers.
Students' qualifications will be assessed with the written report on the frontier research field from the viewpoint of the qualities for doctor.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will able to:
1) Get a basic knowledge about frontiers or topics in computational life sciences or technology.
2) Acquire practical knowledge to help further research.
3) Enhance the qualifications and abilities of the Γ(gamma)-type specialist.
