Course description
Based on the basic knowledge and experimental techniques acquired by the third year, students conduct research on their own research themes in their laboratories and present the progress of their research.
Purpose of class
The objective is to develop the ability to conduct experiments and research on a specific theme and present the progress of the research, making full use of the basic knowledge and experimental techniques learned.
Goals and objectives
  1. Be able to set academic and socially significant themes in consultation with academic advisors.
  2. Be able to conduct research on previous studies related to the research topics.
  3. Be able to use the basic knowledge and experimental techniques learned to promote experiments in accordance with the research theme.
  4. Be able to give a presentation on the progress of the research.
Language
Japanese
Research Guidance
Elucidate of the mechanism of brain aging and related neurodegenerative disorders.
Research Content
To elucidate of the mechanism of brain aging and related neurodegenerative disorders, we use experimental animal and cultured cells. Our research is based on the free radical theory of aging. We also study therapeutic and prevention using antioxidant substances.

Work experience Work experience and relevance to the course content if applicable
Applicable I have been researching the mechanisms of brain aging. I am particularly interested in oxidative damage. Oxidative damage accelerates some severe impairments. To prevent the development of these diseases, I use antioxidant nutrients and work on prevention studies using rodent and cell culture models.
