| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
(Aim) Students will understand the basic principles of response control in higher life forms through research to clarify the molecular mechanisms of signaling mechanisms in various cellular responses; students will also learn how to approach research and draft research plans, as well as experimental techniques, data sorting methods, and problem-solving skills. (Summary) In this course, students will independently design research on the various cellular responses in cancer cells, make corresponding detailed experiment plans, and conduct creative and imaginative research. |
|||
| Course Goals |
1. To learn the experiment techniques for research on the molecular mechanisms of cellular responses. 2. To learn how to draft plans for research on the molecular mechanisms of cellular responses. 3. To learn methods for sorting experiment data from research on molecular mechanisms of cellular responses, solve the problems identified through that data, and move on to planning the next experiment. |

| Schedule and Contents |
1-15: The following experiments will be conducted: ・Research on the molecular mechanisms of cellular responses ・Research on the molecular mechanisms of cell motility ・Research on the molecular mechanisms of cell metabolic regulation ・Research on amino acid transporters ・Research on guidance receptors |
|||
| Evaluation Methods and Policy | Students will be comprehensively evaluated based on their approach and attitude to day-to-day research. | |||
| Course Requirements | None | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Students should read up in advance on the experimental methods used in research on the molecular mechanisms of cellular responses to establish what questions they might have. They should also make a list, each time, of the points left as things to be learned from the previous practical training session and make sure to review them so they can be steadily absorbed. | |||
