Animal Biotechnology |
(1) |
Molecular cell engineering: Molecular cell engineering approaches biological phenomena from the perspectives of molecular biology and cell biology in order to understand the conditions that are necessary for cells to grow and function. |
(2) |
Animal physiology & animal resource technology: These disciplines aim to understand the structural principles of animal physiology from the perspectives of animal metabolism, pharmacology, and environment, to explore the correlation between different physiological functions, and to develop new technologies for the large scale and optimal use of animal resources. |
(3) |
Genetic code engineering: Genetic code engineering aims to understand the mechanisms related to the formation and development of organisms based on the understanding of various genetic phenomena at the molecular level, as well as to develop the latest methods and technologies in the field of biotechnology, based on molecular genomics and bioinformatics. |
Plant Biotechnology |
(1) |
Help students understand the basic physiological and biochemical phenomena of life in terms of the growth, development, physiology, ecology, heredity, and cultivation of plants, and enhance their ability to utilize this knowledge. |
(2) |
Help students understand and utilize the physiological, biochemical, genetic, and thremmatological phenomena necessary for the growth and development of plants, based on the principles of plant sustenance; help students understand the fundamentals of phytopathology and the latest plant genetic engineering technologies, so that they can contribute to improving the functionality and productivity of plants. |
(3) |
Help students acquire basic and biotechnological knowledge related to the development of high-quality, high-functional plants, the preservation, exploration, and utilization of eco-friendly plant resources, and the sustainable growth in productivity of plants; help students gain scientific knowledge and expertise in how to utilize cutting-edge molecular biological technologies and research/develop materials with new functions. |
Molecular Biotechnology |
(1) |
Help students learn the functionality and structures of biological materials based on chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology, and use this knowledge in interpreting biological phenomena; help students learn how to design and utilize biological materials and/or biological phenomena with new functionality that does not exist in the natural world, based on existing biological knowledge or biological phenomena. |
(2) |
Conduct research into pathogenic microbes, including research into the pathogenicity and mechanisms of microbial infection in order to develop microbial diagnostic kits and vaccines/treatments, and contribute to the development of technologies to control infectious diseases. |
(3) |
Understand metabolism in vivo and the structures, functions, and reactions of related enzymes and proteins in order to develop useful materials, foods, medicines, and bioactive substances based on biochemical engineering and bioreaction engineering. |
