Course description and aims

In this course, students proceed with a project given by their instructors. Students learn practical experimental techniques to pursue the project, as well as the underlying principles. In addition, students learn how to record the methods and results of experiments and understand the importance of experimental data as intellectual properties. Through these activities, students also learn ethics in scientific research.

Biological Information Lab Work I, II, III, and IV play central roles in the curricula of the department together together with Directed Laboratory Works in Biological Information I and II. Students should actively learn these courses.

Students need to enroll Biological Information Lab Work I, II, III, and IV in this order.

Student learning outcomes

Students will acquire the following abilities in stages by completing Biological Information Lab Work I, II, III, and IV:
1. acquire practical experimental techniques in life science.
2. understand the principles underlying those techniques.
3. record materials, methods and results in laboratory notebooks in a proper manner.
4. make short- and mid-term experiment plans to pursue the long-term project.
