The Department of Biotechnology is an academic subject in the School of Engineering that is unique in Japan.
The aim of this program is to expose graduate students to state-of-the-art research skills and in-depth knowledge of advanced biology, chemistry and physics to harness the potential of biotechnology. In the past decades, biotechnology has been rapidly advancing together with the development of life sciences. There are great expectations for biotechnology to produce medicine, preserve the natural environment, and perform other roles.

For the past few decades, biotechnology has been rapidly advancing together with the development of life sciences. There are great expectations for biology to produce medicine, preserve the natural environment, and perform other roles. For example, the department conducts research on everything from microorganisms to animals and plants to search for useful compounds for foods, beverages, medicine, and agrochemicals, establishes theories for manufacturing them, develop new biological functions and environmental clean-up systems, and otherwise makes life science useful to everyday life.
With these goals in mind, we research and educate on cutting edge technologies in fields such as genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cellular engineering, protein technology, and biochemical engineering, and send skilled staff out into the world.
