Biotechnology is based on biochemistry to develop technologies that improve our lives and health. Recent technical advances on analyzing gene function at the molecular level enable us to understand living organism at health and diseased conditions.
This is a graduate-level biotechnology course. The course provides the recent advanced knowledges about basic aspects of biotechnology and its application.

On completion of this course, the student should have
• basic knowledges related health and diseased conditions.
• ability to search recent novel scientific reports on Biotechnology.
• ability to comprehend in English and Japanese.
• ability to present research reports using PowerPoint.

We will read novel papers published in the high impact journals.
• Novel mechanistic insights in neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease and Huntington disease.
• Recent advances in regenerative medicine using iPS cells.
• Recent advances in genetic engineering to understand living organisms.

Discussion Debate／Presentation

We will read novel papers published in the high impact journals.
• Novel mechanistic insights in neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease and Huntington disease.
• Recent advances in regenerative medicine using iPS cells.
• Recent advances in genetic engineering to understand living organisms.

I will ask you to summarize what you have learned and thought in each class.
I also ask you to read the novel and significant original papers written in English and present their content using PowerPoint in the class.
I will evaluate you based on your reports and presentation. When you got 60 points or more, you will pass this class.

You will read the original research article written in English and explain the content using PowerPoint. Next, other graduate students and I will ask about what we are interested in or can not understand. You will notice the good points and unclear points in your presentation by responding to the questions.

I will accept consultations and questions in Room 302 of Building 17 from 14:00 to 15:00 on Thursday.
I also accept simple questions in the classroom after class.
In the case of mail, I will accept your question at "bt13262@ns.kogakuin.ac.jp."

まず生命工学に関する基礎を上にあげた参考書等で固めてください。次に実際に生命工学に関連する英文論文を読み，それを PowerPoint を使って発表する。それを繰り返す。すると，最新知識が得られ，英文論文に親しめ，英文論文を読む意義が理解でき，プレゼンテーションスキルも上がると思われます。

Applicable

I will give lectures on the importance of biochemical analysis of human and mouse brains based on my experience in brain research.
