Synthetic biology
“Advanced Biosciences” seminars (Arakawa, Hirayama, Kanai, Kono, Kuroda, Naito, Soga, Sugimoto, Suzuki, and Tsujimoto are operated along with Academic Project “Advanced Biosciences” for graduate students. All members, including faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduate students are involved to research projects.
The seminar(s) to be taken will be announced when students are notified of their permission to enroll."

This Synthetic Biology Project aims to understand the design of living organisms constitutively, and is not restricted to any particular organism, but rather conducts research on a phenomenon-based basis. For this reason, we study not only major model organisms such as bacteria and rats, but also organisms that have not been studied very much in the past, such as slime molds, ants, and spiders. We welcome proposals for new target organisms with interesting phenomena.
Our research approach combines both experimental and computational (wet and dry) methods. Specifically, we combine experimental processing such as field sampling, culturing, nucleic acid extraction, and genome engineering with informatics processing such as a simulation, genome analysis, sequence analysis, and image analysis.
