Biomaterials Science and Engineering / Exercise 1

Biomaterials engineering research is a interdisciplinary field to develop or study materials/interfaces in contact with biological systems. This research course focuses on self-assembly materials by biofunctional chemicals and sensing/catalyzing biopolymer. Students will learn methodology of the field and achieve skills of these methods in their experiment.

1. To understand biological functions at the molecular level and. To acquire a methodology to research using biological functional science.
2. To plan and execute experiments for study of materials by using biological function science.
3. To discuss the results of experiments, and then make findings to advance the stage of research.

English

Students will individually select the research subjects and then draft and execute experimental plans. Research results will be reported at the academic conference after presentation and discussion in laboratory meeting. Finally they will write the master's thesis and make an oral presentation.

Laboratory activities will be evaluated from following respects:

Understandings of research theme(20%)
Experiment and report(40%)
Discussion of results and feed-backed planning (20%)
Presentations of research (20%)

Textbooks, data collections and research papers will be distributed in accordance with the research theme.
