Class Status
within Educational
Program
(Applicable only to targeted subjects for undergraduate students) During lectures and practical training on this class, you can learn the details of research, such as infectious disease, drug resistance, host defense in our body and indigenous microbial flora, using experimental techniques required for infectious diseases. You can also learn basics regarding infectious diseases and host immune responses. Furthermore, participants learn basic research techniques, such as aseptic procedure, screenings of oral microorganisms, drug sensitivity tests, and common immunological methods for the analysis of the gut associated lymphoid tissues.
