Lecture
Goals/Outline:
Students will learn the basics in life sciences by understanding the regulation of signal transduction involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and death.

Practice
Goals/Outline:
Students will learn to handle recombinant DNA molecules and analyze the data obtained from experiments.

Lab
Goals/Outline:
Students will learn basic molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques by observing and/or performing biochemical experiments using cultured cells and gene-engineered mice.

The aim of Research Core is to provide laboratory equipments, and information for researches in advanced molecular and cellular biology. In educational objectives in the Graduate School, our Center gives lecture, seminar, training course and individual assistance in research fields of molecular genetics and histology.
