Course Goals(授業の目的)

Health life sciences is an interdisciplinary research field that brings together various disciplines in the fields of
medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences, and the experimental methods and techniques used in this field arealso diverse. Learning these various experimental techniques is not only necessary to engage in research in thehealth and life sciences, but understanding the technical background that supports the findings, even in
disciplines outside of one's field of expertise, is an important skill for solving problems from multiple perspectives.
In the S-HIGO Practical Training, students will learn the principles and actual techniques of various experimental
methods and techniques related to health and life sciences. It also aims to increase interest in different fields andto broaden the scope of research and networking.
