| Course description |
|
Overview of applied microbiology and biotechnology focusing on the fundamental understanding of the molecular and evolutional bases. The lecturer of this course has the firsthand experiences on research and development in a startup company as a side job for the development of his research results in the university. He will give a lecture based on his own experience. |
| Expected Learning |
