Course description and aims
Interdisciplinary research fields are rapidly expanding in modern society. Therefore, it is important for future researchers to capture challenges based on multidisciplinary insights. This course will provide professional knowledges of interdisciplinary research fields which is important for front-line life engineers in life engineering course. In particular, "Advanced Human Centered Science and Biomedical Engineering II" will focus on advanced interdisciplinary researches between chemistry and life science fields. In this interdisciplinary research field, fusion of knowledges and technologies in each field will lead to development of novel technologies and creation of new interdisciplinary research fields. In this course, students can learn professional knowledges and understand how chemistry and life science fields have merged to have technological innovations through learning particular cases.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to :
1) Understand the properties of cancers at the cellular and organ levels and design the future strategies for anti-cancer drug development
2) Explain the principle and the application of super-resolution microscopy and atomic force microscopy
3) Design cell surface by the evaluation of physical property using atomic force microscopy
4) Explain stress responses in photosynthetic organisms and biosensers made of proteins
5) Understand catalytic chemistry related to environmental and energrtic issues

Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In the first half of the class, the main points of the day's lecture are explained. In the latter half, these main points are discussed in details. Students are asked to provide solutions to the questions and submit to the professor as a report in English. Always check the required learning for each class and be sure to complete it as a part of peparation and review.
