Population Ecology
The course is to study ecological models about population structure and dynamics as well as to understand the survival strategies of current populations. Ultimately, this course deals with how we apply the concept of population ecology for conservation of biodiversity based on competition between two species, relation of prey-predation, and model of meta-population.
Population Genetics
The course deals with how evolutionary processes such as mutations, natural selection, genetic drift, inbreed, recombination, gene flow, etc., can determine the genetic composition of species in natural populations. In addition, this course is to study and explore the methods of measuring genetic mutations in natural populations and also to study experimental methods for verifying main concepts of population genetics.
Current Issues in Life Science I
This course is essential for those who enroll in doctoral studies in the department. Professors (4-5 faculties) introduce current trends in each field. And also, they help the students to perform creative research and share major achievements in biological science through their study plans. Students, who take this course, can compensate their research plans from the personal talks and advice from the professors.
Current Issues in Life Science II
This course is essential for those who enroll in doctoral studies in the department. Professors (4-5 faculties) introduce current trends in each field. And also, they help the students to perform creative research, share major achievements in biological science and suggest students for their study plans. Students, who take this course, can compensate their research plans through personal talks and advice from the professors.

In addition, this course helps to study, handle and interpret data using computational software tools.
Research in Biochemistry
In this lectures, we learn about basic safety precautions and skills required for laboratory life. Also, we learn about theoretical background and practical application of research techniques about various biochemical techniques.
Innate Immunity
All the animals, including vertebrates, have the innate immune system like TLRs (Toll like receptors) signal transduction that is primary defense system against infections caused by pathogens. Unlike the adaptive immune system, the innate immune system can recognize almost all pathogens using limited number of TLR receptors, inherently. In this course, we discuss TLR signaling in more detail.
Seminar I∙II
This course deals with current research trends and prospects in all fields of biological sciences for master course students.
Advanced Plant Systematics
This course deals with characteristics of organisms in the plant kingdom, opinions about systematics and its methodologies.
Neurochemistry
This course is to study neurotransmitters involved in neuron signal transduction and biochemical characters of their receptors. In addition, we will study synthesis, degradation of neurotransmitters, secretory process, mechanisms and structures of various receptors, diseases involved with neurotransmitters and their receptors.
Signal Transduction I
This course aims to understand various signaling process in living cells. We will discuss different kinds of materials involved in signaling, mechanisms and its regulation.
Signal Transduction II
There are many diseases that are associated with problems in cell signaling. This course aims to understand diseases caused by damage of signal transduction pathway.
Cancer Biology
Cancer biology is the study dealing with cancer cells as main theme. In this course, we will compare normal cells and cancer cells with respect to biological events such as controlling of intra and inter cellular signal. Throughout this course, we will understand causes of cancer, molecular mechanisms and their cellular processes.
Genomics I∙II
This course aims to understand genome structure, their function with various species and discuss genome analysis and its current trends. In structural genomics, we deal with genome component and genome mapping using various molecular markers. While in functional genomics, we deal with genome in conjunction with meta-genome, pharmacology, metabolomics, pathology and nutritional science.
Limnology
Limnology is interdisciplinary research area related with physics, chemistry, hydrology and biology on in-land water including rivers, reservoirs. This course deals with current principle, concept of various researches in limnology through lecture and presentation.
Colloquium I∙II
This course aims to inspire creative research activities that students investigate its current trends and specific topics involved in their research.
Studies on Ion Channels
This course covers the structure and function of ion channels that exist in the cell membrane and regulate the flow of ions. Firstly, we learn the basic principles of electrophysiology and study the structure of a variety of channel proteins with common structural characteristics of ion channels. Secondly, we look around the functions of various ion channels in the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and endocrine system. In addition, this course covers the channelopathy caused by the abnormality of the ions in the channels.
Quantitative Ecology
This course is to study the principles of quantitative analysis on the data obtained from field surveys and laboratory experiments using a statistical program such as S-plus, R, etc. Students can also learn the principles and concepts for establishing a quantitative model to predict the dynamics of the data through lectures and assignments.
