These lectures are based on Aspergillus oryzae and its related species which are often used in traditional fermentation industry of Japan. Week4-5：Measurement Techniques 1-2, these lectures are focusd on prnciples and applications of various microscopies to measure functions of single molecules and single cells Week6-7：Zinc Finger Nuclease 1-2, we introduce Zinc-Finger Nuclease (ZFN), which is an advanced technologyfor targeted manipulation of the cellular genome. Week8-9：Motor Protein 1-2, this section will introduce the function of motor proteins and its application, especially focusing on myosin-actin system. Week10-11：Biosensing Technology 1-2, These lectures are focused on applications of nanomaterials and nanofabrications for target detections in single cell level. Week12-15：The lectures will be focused on nanobiotechnology. Development of biosensor or regearative medicine using nanoneedle will be introduced, aiming to make deep undestandings of the trends in biotechnology. The subject of report will be presented in the lecture week12.
