General outline |
|
| Living organisms are dynamic systems in which a variety of cells and cellular molecules form a complicated network. In this course, graduate students learn how diversity of living organisms is produced, based on our knowledge on structure and function of individual cells and their constituents. In particular, we will focus on the mechanisms for maintaining the homeostasis of basic cellular functions and organisms, as well as on the principles for the continuity and diversity of life. We will also promote morphological studies of cells and organisms, including analysis of dynamic behavior of individual molecules in a spatio-temporal manner. Graduate students will learn updated methodology and principles of microscopes, including electron and confocal laser microscopy aiming at "The high resolution multi-dimensional bio-imaging system". |
