実務経験
実務経験の概要と それに基づく授業内容
メッセージ	This course was developed in response to direct requests from graduate students who identified a need for systematic training in microbial genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics. Whether your research involves environmental microbiology, infectious diseases, ecology, or biotechnology, the knowledge and skills covered in this course will be directly applicable to your thesis work. The intensive format allows focused, immersive learning — come prepared to engage actively.
その他	This is an intensive course. The specific dates, times, and location will be communicated to enrolled students via Microsoft Teams and the course bulletin board before the start of the second semester. Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes. Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
