The next generation of developed countries, including Japan, will focus on the field of health. In the future, health will become a key word in various policies, industries, and national development. The purpose of this course is to provide students with the minimum necessary knowledge of the basics of biology, such as biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, in a way that is easy to understand, even if they have not taken any biology courses before. Specifically, the course covers the metabolism of sugars, lipids, and amino acids in the acquisition of biological energy. Genetics is the study of genes, which are the basis of our biology. This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the molecular basis of life science. In this course, students will learn the basics of molecular biology, which is the basis for all of the above, during a half-year period.
