Outline and Purpose of the Course It is important in the field of life science to understand biochemistry and biological medicine in terms of organic material chemistry. The way to think and view the biological system and bioprocess at the molecular level can make clear the academic knowledge of life science and contribute to the development of engineering-medicine-pharmacy interdisciplinary research area. In this lecture, proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids of bio-related substances as well as cells, cell membrane, extracellular matrix of biological system are explained in terms of chemical biology. As a representative of engineering-medicine-pharmacy interdisciplinary research area, drug delivery system (DDS) and regenerative medicine are introduced. In addition, some topics in the field of life science, including stem cells, body defense and immunology, and endocrine disruptor, are also covered.
Course Goals The objective of the lecture is to obtain the fundamental knowledge of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, cells, and extracellular matrix and understand stem cells, body defense, DDS, regenerative medicine, and endocrine disruptor of life science application.
