Bioscience and biotechnology, which continue to make remarkable progress, are expected to contribute to the development of basic industries including the next-generation pharmaceutical, food, and environment-related fields.
Now that the genetic information of many organisms is becoming clear, it is said to be the post-genome era, and there is an urgent need to create cutting-edge biotechnology and develop excellent human resources in the field of biotechnology.
Fermentation engineering plays a part in rapidly developing bioscience and biotechnology, and conducts advanced research on the elucidation and utilization of functions of biomolecules that benefit human welfare and survival, as well as research with advanced expertise. The purpose is to train personnel and engineers.
