The major aim of our graduate school is to understand the mechanisms of the phenomena of life. All the members devote themselves to zero in on various life phenomena at molecular, cellular, organ, and animal individual levels. For the purpose, we must use various methodologies from biology and medical science to chemistry, physics, mathematics, electronics, communication engineering, and so on. Especially, a fusion of those scientific areas is necessary for the investigation. "All life is composed of basic biological elements like nucleic acids, genes, proteins, and membranes. Over several decades, our understanding of the life sciences has greatly advanced by bringing together an assortment of different fields including genetic engineering, molecular biology, physiology, and medicine. The next stage is to clarify how these different elements dynamically interact and change in order to establish the diverse and complex function seen within all biological systems. For this, a new framework to approach the life sciences is needed. The Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences, therefore, has broken this task into three. The first and perhaps most fundamental is further understanding of the function of various biological systems. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the basic properties of the elements involved and also to clarify how the environment helps determine function."
