Undergraduate Thesis Research 2

 FUKUI Koji
Course description
Based on the basic knowledge and experimental techniques acquired by the third year, students conduct research in accordance with their respective research themes in the laboratory to which they are assigned, and write a thesis on the results. They also give an oral presentation of the thesis.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this course is to develop the skills to conduct experiments or research on a certain theme using the basic knowledge and experimental techniques learned, and to write a thesis and make an oral presentation of the results.

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.
