One is biological experiments and observation to elucidate various stages of biological phenomena, such as the mechanisms that regulate gene expression, the functions of proteins and nucleic acids in cells, and the maintenance of living organisms. The other is computational data-mining to quantify and analyze the massive amount of biological data in a comprehensive and integrated manner to enhance our understanding of complex biological mechanisms. In addition, the Medical Innovation Course conducts research to effectively socialize the results of basic research from an ethical, legal, and social perspective (ELSI). Through the integration of the above diverse research fields, CBMS develops human resources, who will lead research in the field of advanced biomedical sciences.■ Department of Integrated Bioscienceshttp://www.ib.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/english/index.htmlIntegrating leading-edge fields in the biosciences and opening up new frontiersWe analyze the elementary processes and collaborating organs in life phenomena and, from the aspects of structure and function, study topics including the universality and diversity of life, cooperation and competition between living beings, and the origins and evolution of life. Relying on “advanced, transdisciplinary education and research” as our common philosophy and covering everything from the fundamentals to applications, we foster human resources that can contribute to problem-solving in the biosciences, as well as create next-generation biosciences.■ Department of Computational Biology and Medical SciencesComplexity Science and Engineering■ Department of Advanced Materials Sciencehttps://www.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/materials/index_e.htmlRaising advanced materials scientists who will spread their wingsand take-off from here and journey around the world We pioneer research to draw out undiscovered functions hiding in the depths of “materials.” We create fundamental science and technology for the 21st century and fulfill our role as a global location for comprehensive, systematic education and research by clarifying the organization of various phenomena and developing theories; imagining new devices; and establishing revolutionary material measurement methods.■ Department of Advanced Energyhttps://www.ae.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/Venturing to develop the energy of the future and leading-edge uses of energy.We conduct comprehensive education and research with “Energy”. In collaboration with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), and National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), we make full use of large-scale experiment equipment and work in such fields as aerospace engineering, deep space exploration, advanced electromagnetic energy use, nuclear fusion energy, and plasma science and engineering.■ Department of Division of Transdisciplinary SciencesDivision of Biosciences
