Living organisms utilize sun light as energy source or for acquiring environmental information. This course deals with the
photochemical aspects of the mechanisms of these processes.
Light is widely used in medical technology. Photochemistry is applied in various ways in the medical technology. One of the aims of this course is to obtain the scope of the application of photochemistry to medical check, medical treatment, and other medical technologies.
The first part of this course will be conducted in lecture format. But, in the second part, each student is requested to have a presentation about a research paper and to accept questions and comments by the other students. Through this process, students are expected to improve the skills of presentation and discussion.

One of the aims of this course is to provide wide scope of the photochemical processes observed in living organisms. The other
aim is to introduce the scope of the application of photochemistry to medicine.
- To obtain the scope of the application of photochemistry to medical technology.
- To obtain the scope of biological aspects of photochemistry.
- To acquire skills to estimate and evaluate innovative effects of photochemical research to medical technology.
- To improve skills to give an effective research presentation.
