授業概要
Course overview
Students learn skills in designing experiments in Infection biology, RNA biology and eukaryotic gene expression.  Students will acquire skills to understand the purpose, methods, and results of latest articles related to Infection biology, RNA biology and eukaryotic gene expression. Students will discuss the significances, problems, and future directions of the study. Students will learn the experimental principles and methods required for the research in the proper handling of  microbes. Students will acquire the ability to carry out the experiments with reproducibility and to evaluate the reliability of experimental results.
