Frontiers in Biosciences
The aim is to promote the scientific clarification and advanced utilization of biotic functions and characteristics, the safe and stable supply of food (biological) resources, the production of value-added products through bioconversion, and the advancement of health. For example, the course covers the elucidation of biotic functions towards an understanding of food and health, and bioscience in which life phenomena are scientifically clarified and utilized from the perspective of molecules, cells, tissues and the like. The design and utilization of new enzymes are parts of frontier science.

Frontiers in Biosciences is comprised of following 3 units.
Units
-
Unit of Animal Science
Research at the genetic, molecular, cellular, tissue, individual and group levels is conducted on the improvement of technologies used in the process of livestock production, including the use of products, and such research is conducted on related basic theories. Education is provided on mechanisms that regulate gene expression, mechanisms of reproductive physiology, mechanisms of digestive/metabolic physiology, land-based production systems, the functionality/safety of livestock food products, the morphosis mechanism of biomedical tissues and mechanisms of physiological regulation.Faculties in Charge
