School of Chemistry, Life Science, and Informatics—Curriculum of Biosciences and Informatics

Integrating the biosciences and computer science to understand the phenomena and systems around us

The Curriculum of Biosciences and Informatics aims to increase our understanding of biological phenomena as systems. It promotes an interdisciplinary approach that combines the life sciences, computer science, and engineering. By integrating biological experiments that investigate molecular cell biology, drug discovery bioimaging, and biophysics, with information science, including bioinformatics, this program attempts to create a comprehensive understanding of life systems and introduce new perspectives into this field of research. Our curriculum promotes advanced research in interdisciplinary fields and cultivates globally competitive experts by collaborating with diverse research institutions within and outside Keio University. Through project-based research, we aim to create new knowledge using various lenses of analysis and contribute to solving social issues.
