The remarkable development of various basic disciplines has led to an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of life phenomena. In addition, the genes of animal species from rodents to primates including humans are being decoded quickly, and many governments are racing to economically utilize the findings. Under these circumstances, a functional discipline that can be applied to the life engineering industry is much needed to realize a society with a sound and principled approach to life.

Accordingly, our department aims to lead the life engineering industry by offering basic education on the prevention and diagnosis of diseases, physiology and development of living organisms and by expanding the connectivity between industry, academia and research, thereby fostering future-oriented experts.
