lesson7: The science of lactic acid bacteria: Is only living lactic acid bacteria good for our health?　(YAMAMOTO)
lesson8: Crop architecture and function (TANAKA)
lesson9: Food and agricultural product marketing to enhance regional sustainability (HOSONO)
lesson10: Improvement and application of plant function (FUJIKAWA)
lesson11: Nobel prize brought to us by model organisms -Researches using fermentative microorganism (Yeast)-(FUNATO)
lesson12: Immunity for life (IKUTANI)
lesson13: The relationship between physical properties of fats and texture evaluation of food -focusing on chocolate and margarine- (UENO)
lesson14: Introduction to glycobiology (HIRAYAMA)
lesson15: Observing and examining food resources from genome and genome information (NISHIBORI)

There is no final exam, but a report is submitted for each lecture or a quiz is given.

Students learn about cutting-edge research conducted by faculty members of the Faculty of Applied Biological Science. You can get useful information for program assignment from the second semester of the 2nd year and assignment to her supervisor from the second semester of the 3rd year.
