Advanced Biosciences
At SFC, we work on the world's cutting-edge biosciences that integrate medicine, pharmacy, science, engineering, agriculture, information, and policy. We aim to elucidate the mechanisms of life by synthesizing insights from across disciplines. Our research contributes to the fields of health, medicine, food, and the environment.
*The term, "area," here does not refer to the major, department, or course to which students or faculty members belong. It is used for convenience and clarity to explain the areas of study that are currently offered in the two faculties. Students at SFC engage in projects based on their interests, consequently creating fields of study of their own.
Advanced Health Sciences
We aspire to contribute to realizing a society of healthy longevity through a novel integration of the humanities and sciences that involves drawing on advanced technology and social sciences including health policy.
Systems Biology
SFC is a world pioneer in systems biology. We conduct analyses of omics such as genomics and metabolomics and aggregate the results to understand a complex life form as a system..
Systems Medicine
By applying systems biology to medicine and pharmacy, we contribute to elucidating disease mechanisms and developing treatments through a new approach that combines molecular biology, information science, and analytical chemistry.
Environmental Biosciences
We are searching for microorganisms and molecules that are useful to the earth. Our aim is to make significant contributions to environmental studies by conducting projects like a comprehensive, genetic-level monitoring of organisms that exist in specific environments.
