Biological Sciences Course

Molecular and Cellular Biology Unit

In this Unit, we study fundamental life processes at molecular and cellular levels to elucidate how the collective behavior of biomolecules and cells contributes to the characteristics of living organisms. Our research interests include: cell-cell interactions and sexual reproduction, genome structure and dimorphism, biomembrane biogenesis and transport, evolution of developmental complexities, and redox response in photosynthetic organisms. These subjects are investigated using bacteria, yeasts, algae, protists and plants, applying a broad range of techniques, such as molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, genomics, cell imaging, and electron microscopy.

Functional Biology of Multicellular Organisms Unit

In this Unit, we study the mechanisms by which living organisms work, and examine them at molecular, cellular, and whole-organism levels. Our research interests include: mammalian reproduction, cancer formation, photoreception, plant morphogenesis, proliferation and differentiation of plant organelles, water transport in plants, and animal behavior. These subjects are investigated by employing many approaches, such as molecular biology, molecular genetics, physiology, morphology, and behavioral biology.

Ecology Unit

Our ecological research within this unit is diverse. Our areas of research activities include: animal ecology, aquatic ecology, behavioral ecology, conservation biology, limnology, and plant biology. We adopt three approaches: field studies, laboratory studies, and theoretical studies, to explore both basic and applied ecological issues.
