Message

I am engaged in research focusing on bioactive substances that control life phenomena. The foundation of such research is chemistry. Chemistry is closely connected to our daily lives, and our own bodies are also made up of chemicals. Students who study chemistry in the Faculty of Bioenvironmental Sciences are expected to apply their specialized knowledge to contribute to a wide range of fields.
