Division of Biosphere Science

The Division of Biosphere Science conducts both fundamental and applied research on global environmental issues by integrating knowledge and techniques from a wide range of biological fields, including ecology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and production science. Through a diverse array of lectures and research training, the division aims to nurture promising young researchers who will make significant contributions to the field. The division comprises eight courses and is home to faculty members engaged in a broad spectrum of research areas.
