To elucidate the brain functions, it is essential not only to conduct micro-level research such as the conduction of electrical signals and chemical transmission by neurotransmitters, but also the system-level research on how they “function as a circuit” and “connect to actual thoughts and actions.” The Department of Physiology 2 grapples with this arduous but interesting problem by utilizing primates whose brain structure is similar to that of humans, by electrophysiological and pharmacological approaches. The current main theme is the elucidation of mechanisms by which emotion, memory, and attention change the decision-making process and actions. We dream of discovering the universal principle of calculation processing in the brain.

Electrons, when confined in a nanometer-sized space (1 nanometer = 10-9 m), remarkably begin to behave like waves. For example, an organic molecule can be considered as a quantum state in which electrons are confined in an nm space consisting of atoms connected together. Semiconductor nanoparticles show colors different from those of bulk solids due to this quantum size effect. The Quantum Materials Science Laboratory studies molecules, crystals, nanoparticles, and ultrathin films of both organic and inorganic materials, utilizes various optics-based experimental approaches to clarify material properties from the viewpoint of quantum physics, and aims to create new functional materials that will be used in optical information-communication or environment-conscious devices in the future.

The ultimate goal is to foster professionals who are full of originality and creativity.

(Understanding the oceans) studies different ecosystems for aquatic organisms in the oceans, rivers and lakes of the world, including chemical analysis of water composition and the impacts of waves and water flows.

We aim to foster people with a broad knowledge of the primary industry, food, and bioscience, with knowledge and skills applicable to commercialization and industrialization of biological resources, who can contribute to the creation of new industries utilizing biological resources from an international perspective.

Explaining the phenomena of life at the molecular level in the organisms that form ecosystems The Earth is home to a vast variety of living organisms, which comprise rich ecosystems that exist in harmony with the environment. The Environmental Biology Course conducts research with the goal of understanding how organisms recognize the environment in ecosystems and harmonize their activities using the language of molecules. For example, the course covers research into the mechanisms by which animals recognize and respond to external stimuli such as light, and research into the effects of endocrine disruptors flowing into rivers, lakes, and marshes on fish and other wildlife and the mechanisms by which those effects are carried out. Other projects in which department are enthusiastically involved include research into the mechanisms of plant environmental recognition and plant immunity to pathogenic bacteria, research into the physiological mechanisms of microorganisms and the control of their lifespans, and research into the various physiologically active substances that are created by organisms in the environment. We consider research in areas such as these to provide a basis for maintaining ecosystems that are rich in life into the indefinite future.

The characteristic of education and research in the Department of Marine Bioresources is that it covers various fields from natural science to social science. We tackle various problems related to the sea, rivers, and lakes from various perspectives, and the activities of graduates are diverse.

We train well-qualified people who are capable of acting in a variety of areas related to humans and animals. Our graduates have acquired the knowledge necessary for utilizing the results of animal research, from a genetic to biological level, in the lives of human beings. We will continue on our quest to form better relationships between people and animals and explore animal biotechnologies with animal life science as the foundation.

Confronting the environmental issues faced by the Earth and mankind in a wide range of fields. While enhancing accurate comprehension and awareness of various environmental issues, this department engages in practical education centered on “eco-chemistry”, “biochemistry”, and “energy machines” related to the development of environmentally-friendly chemicals, and the search for effective energy utilization technology and biomaterials. By doing so, it seeks to develop human resources who have a high level of environmental awareness and are able to actively participate in these broad fields.

Chemistry that explains and unravels molecules that make up substances. Biotechnology that delves into gene-modification and fermentation utilizing the vital functions of living organisms. Deepening understanding of these two categories, students learn about the chemistry that can be applied to environmental issues and life, such as aqueous environments and cosmetics.

In the Department of Environmental Science, students receive education and conduct research in order to create an environment in which humans and nature can co-exist. We aim to nurture individuals who can contribute to creating a comfortable local community that is safe and inviting. With a base of knowledge related to land, water, and air, students gain an understanding of the connections between human activities and the environment/ecosystems and focus their study on the theory and technology necessary for providing for both production and living environments, while protecting the natural environment. To give students the best chance of future success, we have a comprehensive program of subjects involving experiments and practicums relating to the environment. We also provide numerous opportunities to learn in various environments away from the university. Students can then learn and experience in real-life environments, to really learn about what ‘environment’ means.

What kind of image do you have when you think of hematology? Many people may have the impression that it is "difficult," "difficult to understand," "difficult," and "cannot do this."Certainly, in hematology, cells are finely discriminated under a microscope, and an antigen that does not mean CD △△ is examined by a surface antigen test called FACS, and many genes such as "code" are examined in chromosomal tests and gene PCR tests. Search for a name. It also uses a large number of anti-cancer drugs, which may also be the cause of "blood dislike".But don't worry. There are only a limited number of points to be noted in testing and treatment in individual cases, and certain basic rules can be used to understand most of the testing and treatment. And if you have little experience with the instructor in the clinical setting, you will not have much trouble in reality. Rather, you will find that hematology is more "internal medicine" than other internal medicine. Blood cells and coagulation factors are "systemic organs."Since blood abnormalities spread to all organs such as the circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, and renal urinary system, the range of medical care in hematology is wide, and in that sense, it has the aspect of being the ultimate "comprehensive internal medicine".We sincerely look forward to the participation of teachers who aim to become generalists.
