Outline and Purpose of the Course In this course, students learn and discuss on recent progress in metabolic biochemistry, cellular physiology, immunology, virology, Ca2+ signal transduction. The aim of the practice is to design research experiments and to interpret experimental data based on updated knowledge in basic biology including biochemistry and microbiology. Guidance regarding the presentation and discussion of experimental data will be explained in the first seminar of this course.
Course Goals To develop research skills, such as optimized data gathering, logical thinking and experiment planning, in basic biology fields.
