Course Summary

“Advanced Biosciences” seminars (Arakawa, Kanai, Kuroda, Kono, Sugimoto,
Suzuki, Naito and Hirayama) are operated along with Academic Project
“Advanced Biosciences” for graduate students.
All members, including faculty members, graduate students, and
undergraduate students are involved to research projects.
The seminar(s) to be taken will be announced when students are notified
of their permission to enroll."
Please check our website for more details.

Considering the nature of your research and the way you are involved with other research groups, we may make adjustments to these affiliations. In such cases, please contact Prof. Kuroda directly to discuss. hkuroda@keio.jp

Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

Content:
The Kuroda Research Group primarily utilizes vertebrates as model organisms to elucidate unexplored phenomena and fundamental principles in biology. The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) serves as a central model in our cutting-edge research, which spans fields such as developmental biology, regenerative biology, and molecular biology. This research group emphasizes an integrated approach, combining wet-lab experiments with data analysis and literature review.

Objectives:
Through experiments using the African clawed frog, students will understand the significance of model organisms and learn experimental approaches to address challenges in contemporary biology. Additionally, the program aims to develop students' abilities to design experiments, collect data, perform analyses, and draw logical conclusions.

Methods:
Literature Review: Analyze the latest research papers to understand the background and context of the research.
Wet-Lab Experiments: Conduct embryo manipulation, regeneration studies, and molecular biology techniques (e.g., PCR, in situ hybridization) using the African clawed frog.
Group Discussions: Interpret experimental results, discuss improvements, and receive feedback.
Presentations: Summarize research findings and present them to develop effective communication and presentation skills.

Goals
Acquire foundational knowledge and experimental techniques related to model organisms, particularly the African clawed frog.
Develop the ability to formulate biological hypotheses and verify them through experimentation.
Enhance skills in scientifically analyzing experimental data and drawing logical conclusions.
Foster teamwork and improve presentation skills to effectively communicate research findings.
