This department covers the area of chemistry in which biological phenomena are elucidated at the molecular level, functions of biomolecules are understood from a chemical viewpoint and they are artificially reconstructed for further utilization. Students in this department perform research related to the molecular chemistry of nucleic acid, proteins, carbohydrates, etc. Students learn molecular and genetic engineering with a focus on materials production, environmental chemistry, and medical engineering to expand their knowledge on molecular engineering, practical research executing capacity, and problem-solving and contribute by actively participating in the development of society. In the latter half of the course, they aim at cultivating more advanced specialized knowledge and executing capacity, addressing unknown challenging problems ahead of the world so as to be able to pioneer a new research frontier.
