Analysis of functional RNAs and their regulatory proteins
My lab will continue to work on.
“Advanced Biosciences” seminars (Tomita, Naito, Kuroda, Kanai, Soga, Arakawa, Suzuki, Tsujimoto) are operated along with “Systems Biology Project” for graduate students. All members, including faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduate students are involved to research projects. All undergraduate students must take Dr. Tomita’s “Introduction to Systems Biology” for first semester in order to join our “Advanced Biosciences” seminars. Please check our website for more details. http://bio.sfc.keio.ac.jp/
