Every life is affected by various environmental factors, and in the case of humans, the environment affects health. It is extremely important both academically and socially to elucidate the environmental factors affecting human health and the mechanisms by which those effects are exerted.
In this subject, you conduct research and discussions to elucidate the mechanisms by which various environmental factors affect humans at the body, cell, and molecular levels, and develop new research promotion methods. Also, you learn and practice how to develop preventive or curative measures for health effects.
In addition, you learn and practice methods and presentation methods that can easily and accurately communicate your research content.
