/Class Outline
Intensive lecture by Dr. Yasuhiro Hiraoka, Honorary Professor and Visiting Professor at Osaka University
Supervisor:  Makoto Fujie

Course Objectives:
The analysis of chromosome dynamics is a fundamental area of research in cell biology. This course aims to systematically understand insights into chromosome dynamics based on the of cell biology.

Overview:
The study of "Chromosome Dynamics" within cells provides essential knowledge for understanding fundamental life phenomena such as "cell replication and proliferation," "cancer development," and "homologous recombination." This lecture will systematically explain the fundamental insights into chromosome dynamics during mitosis and meiosis, along with related life phenomena. Additionally, cutting-edge findings, with a focus on research outcomes in the model organism, fission yeast, will be presented. Furthermore, the course will elaborate on the essential analytical tools in this field, particularly fluorescence microscopy techniques. Topics covered will range from live-cell fluorescence imaging to super-resolution imaging, discussing the design principles and practical applications in the research environment.
