“Advanced Biosciences” seminars (Tomita, Naito, Kuroda, Kanai, Soga, Arakawa, Suzuki and 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.
At the first semester when you join the "Advanced Biosciences" seminars (Kenkyukai), you should take "SEMINAR B (1) Masaru Tomita."
Please check our website for more details. 　https://bio.sfc.keio.ac.jp/
In this project, we apply the most advanced metabolomics technology based on capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry(CE-MS) for biomedical, food and environmental fields to understand biological metabolism and develop industrial application.

In this lecture, we deal with many future issues in the Internet technology, philosophy, regulation and rule, and market value based on our experience at SFC. Our campus, SFC has been charged with the very important role in Japanese Internet. It was a big challenge that SFC adopted the Internet as a campus platform at the beginning, thus our experiment became a big contribution for current information environment in society.
Up to the present, the Internet has supported our live. The Internet connected every thing, every service by global scale. Also, an individual can show the message easily to the world by the Internet. The Internet is a global infrastructure designed to solve many issues by simply making good use of it. For the future, we have the mission making the better Internet with better knowledge of technologies, better methods for decision-making, unfettered idea and strong spirit. We wish to meet next generation Internet frontier with strong soul in this lecture.

This class will introduce the current movement of community innovation conducted by various entities such as residents, local government, NPO and companies, clarify the reasons for success as well as problems and discuss the significance and the possibility. We also examine the concrete measure to realize collaboration of various entities, which is important for community innovation, to make the best use of resources and to solve regional problems. The class is for the students who are interested in community innovation practice or regional development policies.

In the class, the theory of platform, network, trust and sociology will be examined, and we will conduct the case study of advanced community innovation with the concept of tourism, agriculture, shopping street, human resource development and traditional industry.　In order to develop our practical knowledge, we will invite special guests who play active roles in community development and also introduce case discussions.

The essay about community problem solution will be expected as a final assignment.

Being destined to keep traveling into an unknown future, we must clearly design the ideal future that we want to establish.
Throughout this course, we will keep discussing what the ideal future should be. Referring to such a future, we will search for issues that society is currently facing and explore a solution that will lead to a robust design to develop the ideal future.
In order to enhance the problem-solving skills, students will be asked to develop concrete proposals based on their own observations of the real world, using several social projects in the areas of life, health, and medicine as reference cases.

Examining Brexit: Britain, Europe and the World

The United Kingdom left the European union at the end of January 2020, as a result of the referendum result in favour of Brexit in June 2016. During the Transition Period until December 2020, the two parties negotiated a free trade agreement (FTA) and other institutional arrangements. With the conclusion of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) between the EU and the UK, the process of Brexit finally came to be completed. Negotiating Brexit with the EU and building a consensus within the country, however, proved to be much more difficult than many Brexiteers had expected. The purpose of this course is to explore the problems that the process of Britain's leaving the EU has raised and put Brexit in a wider context of the EU and the World.

This course aims to learn regional studies of the former USSR/ CIS focusing on the strategic topics. Please keep in mind that this course will be mainly related to the affairs of former USSR / CIS and those with Europe. This course will be composed by lecturers, discussions, and presentations by students. Student’s active participations are required. I would like to include the student’s interests into the lectures, so the requests are always welcome.

All students must attend at the first class, because we will decide the schedule of the personal presentation and I would like hear the student’s interests. In addition, I would like to deal with the new movement in the region and the world, so the syllabus would be changed flexibly according to explain the new situations.

In this class, in the first half of the class, you will learn both "thinking technique" and "collaborating technique" based on some issues (future themes). From the middle of the class to the latter half of the class, we will take on the challenge of developing and implementing future product development and building a sustainable business model with Fujiyoshida City in Yamanashi Prefecture in mind.

This course is designed to introduce students to the main theoretical and conceptual issues in the field of Comparative Politics. It offers students a broad view of the selected themes, concepts and approaches that characterize the field, as well as an appreciation of how the field has evolved over time.

In this class, we will learn linguistic typology, which practices cross-linguistic comparison and pursues generalizations from there. Specifically we focus on our knowledge of grammatical constructions, and explore the knowledge / strategies employed in the communication process in different languages.

The social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors such as the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, that influence health outcomes. Some researches show that the social determinants can be more important than health care or lifestyle choices in influencing health. We welcome students who value an inclusive society and community for health and wellbeing of individuals.
The restriction of on- and off-campus activities due to COVID-19 may continue this semester. However, each study group will deepen discussions on their own topic and if it's possible, they will conduct some field research.
Some examples of issues carried out in the past were parent-child relationships, mental health, sex and gender, and end-of-life. In addition to these topics, making connection and creating community in the post-corona era is important thus, students who are interested in such topics are also welcome.
We are open for the diversity.

Health communication is the study and practice of communicating promotional health information, such as in public health campaigns, health education, and communication between doctor and patient.
In our Kenkyukai, students will play leading roles in planning and facilitating each session. Students will be required to read materials and prepare for the discussion. Foreign students are welcome but need to have basic Japanese communication skills. We use a textbook written in Japanese but for those who need some assistance, the professor will introduce relevant reading materials written in English.

The purpose of this seminar is to analyze the human behavior and performance from the field of ergonomics and sports psychology by using various experimental methods from psychological and physiological aspects.
