Biological and Bioagricultural Sciences

Overview

About Biological and Bioagricultural Sciences at Nagoya University

The Master in Biological and Bioagricultural Sciences at Nagoya University offers educational and research experience in biological, agricultural and medical sciences that are rich with challenges and opportunities for graduate students.

As the frontier for life science research, our graduate program provides rigorous education and research in the following fundamental and applied biological areas of scientific knowledge and experimentation:

• The Division of Biological Science contributes to understanding the regulation of gene expression, chromosome structure and cell proliferation, locomotion and energy transduction, intracellular signal transduction, the development of higher structures in multicellular organisms, structure and function of the brain and neural networks, and circadian rhythm.

• The Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences contributes to solving the current issues on production and sustainability of food, environmental protection, life-long health and development of biomass energy through making clear and enhancing the function and mechanism of every living thing in the range from molecular level up to ecosystem.

• The Graduate School of Medicine contributes to the disclosure and regulation of physiological and pathological mechanisms of our human bodies. At the same time, the scope of the research is expanding toward a new horizon by constructing the research network with relevant or different disciplines.
