Biology
Biology is a discipline that is deeply related to our daily lives. Biology is essential for understanding our own body, the natural environment, and the biotechnologies used in medicine and food production. By the time of graduation our major students have not only a comprehensive grasp of the fundamentals of biology but also enough learning at the advanced level to enter any excellent graduate school. No matter what their next destination, one of the aim of the Biology Major Faculty is for every student to be qualified for any graduate school in the world.

We are investigating the brain cellular and molecular mechanisms of autonomic nervous system functions, such as blood pressure regulation, by using various rat experimental models.
Sabine Gouraud
|
By using plants such as tomato and morning glory, We are trying to understand at genetic and protein levels how plants recognize the light environment to control their development.
Ryosuke Hayama
