Class Objectives
/Class Outline The course aims to acquire basic knowledge and understanding of biological phenomena and to develop an ability to translate biological ideas into mathematical models.
The faculty members will give lectures on various life science topics at several levels of hierarchy, from molecular functions to development and physiology. Some classes also focus on sophisticated modern methodologies in life science research.

Class Schedule Lesson 1: Guidance/Localization of intracellular molecules and its function for life (Kyota YASUDA) (4/8)
Lesson 2: Self-organization under nonequilibrium (Satoshi NAKATA) (4/8)
Lesson 3: Phyllotaxis: a mathematical aspect of plant architecture (Atsushi SAKAMOTO) (4/15)
Lesson 4: Supramolecular artificial life (Muneyuki MATSUO)(4/15)
Lesson 5: Protein structure and function studies by NMR (Shin-ichi TATE)(4/22)
Lesson 6: X-ray crystallography on protein (Katsuo KATAYANAGI)(4/22)
Lesson 7: Mass spectrometry in biological macromolecules (Shunsuke IZUMI)(5/13)
Lesson 8: Human genome (Takashi YAMAMOTO)(5/13)
Lesson 9: Animal Development (Naoaki SAKAMOTO)(5/20)
Lesson 10: Genetic engineering with genome editing technology (Takashi YAMAMOTO)(5/20)
Lesson 11: Genetically engineered plants: current status and perspective (Hiroshi SHIMADA)(5/27)
Lesson 12: Neuroscience research (Takuma SUGI)(5/27)
