Class Status within
Liberal Arts Education | This course strengthens fundamental knowledge of cells that constitute the human body, particularly for students who selected physics and chemistry in high school and have not studied biology in depth. It aims to facilitate understanding of specialized subjects in the professional curriculum, such as nutrition, biochemistry, cell biology, and immunology. |
|---|
| Expected Outcome | The course covers fundamental concepts of cell biology, including DNA, RNA, proteins, transcription, translation, the genome, genes, mitosis, meiosis, and immune cells responsible for protecting the body. |

Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Students will learn how cells differentiate, proliferate, and sustain essential life processes. Special attention is given to understanding how cellular structure and function are determined and how cells maintain life activities. In addition to lectures, students will conduct group presentations on topics of their choice from a broad range of biological themes. |

| Message |
Cells are the fundamental units of all life. This course aims to ensure a solid understanding of the basic principles of cells that form the human body and to build a foundation for subsequent specialized studies. Through group presentations on topics of personal interest within the broad field of biology, students are encouraged to reflect on their interests and explore selected themes independently. By doing so, you will cultivate a spirit of inquiry that forms the basis of scientific research. |
