Division of Integrated Life Science

This division consists of 18 laboratories including five cooperative laboratories one from Radiation Biology Center, two from Institute for Virus Research, and two from Institute of Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS). Thirty-seven graduate students are accepted in the Master's Program annually, and 17 in the Doctoral Program. In this division, education and research are focused on the elucidation of basic mechanisms regulating the chromosome transmission, chromosome replication, RNA architecture, cell cycle, cellular transport, cell polarity, signal transduction, growth and development, developmental plasticity, bioconversion, and environmental adaptation. Experimental approaches are taken with microorganisms, plants, and animals. We pursue education and research to elucidate the molecular aspects of Integrative Life Science.
