The 21st century is characterized as the era of biology, which delves into the principles and mechanisms of life and explores the evolutionary history of living organisms. Biology has expanded into various fields and disciplines and is interconnected with other sciences and technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All life phenomena can be observed through a hierarchical perspective, from the molecular and cellular levels to the population, community, and ecosystem levels. Understanding the patterns and processes of evolution is essential in comprehending all living systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our course, faculty members conduct diverse research from unique perspectives on topics such as “morphogenesis,” “physiology and adaptation,” and “ecology and environment,” incorporating evolutionary perspectives and approaches. Students can gain a comprehensive understanding of biology across all hierarchical levels, from molecules to ecosystems, and study a wide range of taxonomic groups, including microorganisms, plants, and animals. Additionally, students can engage in cutting-edge environmental research at the Center for Marine Environmental Studies (CMES).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
