In this Division, to utilize various bioresources in the wide fields such as foods, health, medicine, and environment, we aim at elucidating the mechanisms of varied vital phenomena of animals, plants and microorganisms, and the structures and functions of novel biomolecules, and furthermore establishing the theories and methodologies for applying the outcome of the fundamental researches to development of functional molecules and foods, and environmental technology. For the achievement of these objectives, advanced studies and professional education are carried out by conducting various researches, including "analyses of structures and functions of novel functional biomaterials and their utilization", "the mechanism of gene expression of varied organisms", "technology of biological information processing", and "technology of unused bioresources application".
