Features of this major / Prospects following course completion

Attentive and thorough guidance is directly given on a one-on-one basis by graduate school faculty members, including the chief professor. Various experiments can be performed including in vitro, in vivo, and bacterial experiments. Moreover, we also recommend proactive joint researches with other academic institutions, in an effort to cultivate researchers with a global perspective. In principle, our goal is to submit your dissertation to an international journal of IF1 or higher, and whenever feasible, members are encouraged to achieve excellent results by the third year and study abroad.

Valuing the knowledge and skills students acquired in four years at our graduate school, we respect the career plan developed by each student and support its fulfillment as much as possible.
