Course description
Insects can adapt to environmental changes in their body structure and physiological and metabolic systems. Studying this mechanism can be a useful hint for human science.
While insects and humans have been regarded as entirely evolutionarily different organisms, but insects have many genes that are very similar to humans. Besides, they have a physiological and metabolic system common to humans. In this lecture, We will introduce advanced insect researches by the instructors and application examples.
Participants will deepen their understanding by discussing whether insects can be useful for the industry in the future.

Expected Learning
To obtain knowledge of Entomology, and this knowledge can be applied to industry.
