Maintenance of Programs with Companies and Overseas Universities(Establishment of a Postgraduate-Only Institution)

Program in Life Science Innovation (Master’s/Doctoral)

Goals

In-depth expertise in the area comes with the acquisition of elementaryknowledge in the 4 areas of pathological condition, drug development,
food, and environment, unprecedented new partnerships are made with across-cutting and higher perspective, and researchers and highly
specialized professionals who can be active internationally in R&D on
innovative drugs are fostered.
Students utilize bioresources, learn from resource hunting to productization coherently, and give back to society
with the commercial viability of life science research outcomes made more efficient and accelerated.
