Medical Science Nagoya University

Overview

We hope that each student takes a first step towards becoming an established medical scientist through our program. We expect that students disclose hidden scenarios of our human body to answer how we humans are made of at the molecular, biochemical and biophysical levels; how devastating diseases are developed; and how such diseases can be prevented and regulated by cutting-edge medical technologies. Biomedical scientists need to acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge and expertise as well as an in-depth understanding of their primary area of research interest. Our curriculum include special lectures "Tokuron" hosted by leading scientists all over the world. These are held about 160 times a year and also provide basic and advanced hands-on training courses, which are held about 60 times a year. The lectures and training courses are integral components of our program that provide the intellectual foundation necessary for independent scientists. Students also have a chance to attend weekly scientific seminars at each department. The department seminars are focused on specific subjects of specific medical science fields that students will be actively engaged in.
