Outline and Purpose of the Course Outline: Based on critical thinking and basic and advanced experimental techniques in genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and embryology, students will come closer to a comprehensive understanding of the construction and maintenance mechanisms of multi-cellular life systems and their failure mechanisms through analysis of intercellular communication principles.

Aim: This course aims to equip students with the experimental techniques and critical thinking to approach a comprehensive understanding of the construction and maintenance mechanisms of multi-cellular life systems and their failure mechanisms; the course will also help them develop the research ability to discover new life principles through the application and development of these skills.
Course Goals 1. To teach students basic and advanced experiment techniques and critical thinking in genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and embryology.
2. To teach students the experiment techniques and critical thinking needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the construction and maintenance mechanisms of multi-cellular life systems and their failure mechanisms.
3. To equip students with the research abilities to discover new life principles.
