(More Details)
 
Lecturers who are actually conducting research using each model organism explain the features and application methods of each model organism. Because this lecture subject will be able to facilitate your own research, we recommend taking this lecture in the first year of master course. Each lecture will be provided via Microsoft Teams (either in on-demand or live online style). The viewing period for each session is one week. Please check moodle for details.
