Distinguished researchers in life sciences or outstandingly active researchers, Erika Sasaki (Central Institute for Experimental Animals), Hitoshi Takizawa (Kumamoto Univ) and Yasuhisa Matsui (Tohoku Univ) in various fields such as development, differentiation and regeneration of digestive organs give introductory and detailed lectures of the latest research frontiers.
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.
