For life sciences, the 20th century was the century of "molecules": Mendel's explanation of heredity in the late 19th century, Avery's identification of genes as DNA, and Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, strongly oriented life sciences in the late 20th century toward "molecular and cellular The second half of the 20th century was strongly oriented toward "molecular and cellular exploration. In Basic Molecular Biology 1-4, students will acquire knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, which is indispensable for understanding modern life science. Classes focus on exercises in which students actively solve problems rather than passively listen to lectures. In Basic Molecular Biology 2, students learn about the processing of genetic information by cells, such as replication, repair, recombination, transcription, and translation, as well as the genetic engineering techniques used to reveal them.
Biology has transformed into a data-driven science, due to the advent of numerous high-throughput measurement technologies. Central to these innovations is the genetic information. One of the core properties of living systems is the existence of genetic information, and analysis of this information, is the central challenge of bioinformatics. Moreover, analysis of genes and genomes through bioinformatics is basically an informatics problem. In this course, major software tools and algorithms for searching, comparison, assembly, variation detection, quantification of genetic sequences would be covered, with hands-on workshops, to understand the basics of genome and bioinformatic analyses.

Molecular biology was definitely the central player of the life sciences in the 20th century. At the end of the nineteenth century, Mendel explained the genetic phenomena. Avery determined that the gene was DNA. Watson and Click came to discover the double helix structure of DNA. Then, main theme of the life science in the second half of the 20th century was directed to "Exploring cells ". Basic Molecular Biology 1 to 4 will acquire knowledge of molecular cell biology indispensable for grasping modern life science. Instead of passively listening to lectures, classes focus on exercises that actively solve problems. Basic Molecular Biology X will be the first part of it.

This course is designed to help undergraduate students to understand the importance of health as a research subject, and to acquire a multifaceted view of health.
The course provides basic skills, methods and knowledge to start health research. At the same time, we create opportunities for students to be exposed to world-class, high-quality papers.
SFC provides a wide variety of health and well-being related subjects from different perspectives. This is an introductory course for students who want to conduct health researches with SFC professors and students who want to get Health Science certificate. The course provides basic skills, methods and knowledge to start health research. The course will be delivered by 5 leading professors.
This course could also be described as "Foundational Biology to be Learned at University." Through the use of metaphors and comparisons, I plan to provide easy-to-understand explanations of important biological topics. The goal is to offer knowledge and perspectives that students can reference in their daily lives and societal activities. Simultaneously, for those intending to pursue a path in biology, such as becoming researchers, this course aims to assist in solidifying their understanding of foundational concepts.
The course will cover mathematical modeling techniques for simulating the behavior of biological systems at the sub-cellular level. Particular focus will be given to modeling various molecular and cellular processes. (i.e. enzyme reaction, population dynamics of bacteria, signal transduction in the cell, electrophysiological dynamics of ion channels, etc.) Topics include methods for mathematical modeling and computer simulation, design of simulation experiments, and analysis of results. Students will be expected to learn about:

One of big problems of studying biology is caused by too various species found on the earth and too complicated structures of each creature, meaning that it is difficult to find what is important point in this academic field. I believe that comparison of real world and life science events can be good tip to solve this problem on studying biology. In this class, gathering various knowledge and experience of mine, 14 biological topics will be performed. I do not care whether you studied biology in high school or not.

In our daily life, our sensory systems are detecting various types of information about environments inside/outside of our body which varies from hour to hour. Our movements are well-modulated by utilizing such sensory information which is integrated within our brain. In addition, sensory systems are also associated with reflexes (=involuntary bodily response to some stimuli ) . By utilizing such reflexes, we can prevent from some dangers quickly without thinking. As such, sensory systems play important roles for safe and grateful life.
In this course, we are regarding humans as systems which involve "inputs" and "output", and learning sensory physiology (structures and functions of various sensors within our body / mechanisms of our perception and cognition) and psychology (how our mental process is associated with our cognition and action). Due to time constraints, we are focusing on somatosensory and visual systems in this course.

A programs can be seen as a mathematical function which calculate output value for a given input. However, it is not a simple mathematical function. It is not a total function, but a partial one. In order to understand the property of programs, it is necessary to introduce topology of complete partial order. In this lecture, we will study lambda calculus, domain theory, category theory and so on which are base for mathematical theory of programs.
Various software systems are used in the current computer system. The most fundamental software system is Operating system. Every computer has its operating system and it allows other software to operate on the computer. On top of the operating system, there are several important middleware software systems. We pick up some of the software systems which we use in our daily computer use and look into their functions and mechanisms.
With the development of devices and computers, the scale and diversity of data handled by human beings are steadily increasing. In order to manage such big data, various kinds of data systems have been studied. Such data systems seem complicated, but its basic is beautiful and simple. In this lecture, students will learn the concepts and techniques.
It is important to do correct deduction. In this lecture, we study the correctness of deduction using symbolic logic. Natural language is too complex to handle, so we first need to replace it with symbols and find out the essential logical structure. We will study what is the correct deduction, how we can show the correctness, and so on. We will handle first propositional logic, then predicate logic. We may also touch some of none classical logic.
"Programming" used to mean writing codes in text-based programming languages like C, Python, and JavaScript, but modern programming systems include wider range of paradigms like visual programming, example-based programming, evolutioinal programming, etc. In this lecture, we introduce various aspects of modern programming activities, and hope to share opinions on future programming environments in the real world.
Since people have to handle and understand huge collections of data on their PCs and on the web, visualization techniques are getting extremely important. In this lecture, we introduce various aspects of visualization techniques, and study how we should use them for understanding and presenting large data.
The Internet becomes a social infrastructure in the last 20 years. On the other hand, only specialists know the details of the Internet technology. The goal of this class is that you learn the concept of Internet, how to work using the Internet. The architecture of the Internet is very simple. The simplicity is the most important point to be base of various system.
