Graduate School of Integrated Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Sciences Graduate School of Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Sciences The School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the School of Food and Nutritional Sciences were reorganized and consolidated to form the Graduate School of Integrated Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Sciences, which opened in 2012. We develop cutting edge Nutritional Sciences based on pharmaceuticals and food, and educate our students to be researchers and professionals with high expertise, who can contribute to healthy longevity as well as the creation of a safe and peaceful environment. Our school is the achievement of the 21st Century COE Program Center of Excellence for Evolutionary Human Health Sciences, which was established in 2002, and the Global COE Program Global Center of Excellence for Innovation in Human Health Sciences, which was established in 2007, sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. We have five areas of programs, and the Graduate Program in Food and Nutritional Sciences and Graduate Program in Environmental Health Sciences provide graduate education and research for Food, Nutrition, Environment, which are key to the sustainability of the human being. Part of the laboratory that belongs to the Graduate Program in Food and Nutritional Sciences is used by the Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Sciences at the doctoral level. The Graduate Program in Food and Nutritional Sciences consists of two divisions, the Division of Food Sciences and the Division of Nutritional Sciences. Our students learn basic science and advanced technologies to contribute to the preservation of health and prevention of disease through food, and to be researchers or professionals with high expertise and technique for a rapidly advancing aging society. The Division of Food Sciences focuses on the functions of food, biochemistry, genetic engineering and plant science in addition to the chemical composition of food, processing and storage techniques, and food safety. The Division of Nutritional Sciences investigates the biological response to nutrients, the molecular mechanism of cancer and its prevention, with a special focus on nutrition and meal management as a treatment of disease, and basic, advanced and practical research for the prevention of lifestyle-related illness. The Graduate Program in Environmental Health Sciences consists of three courses; Global, Regional, and Local Environmental Science Course; Environmental Life Science Course; and Environmental Symbiosis Course. Our students will be individuals who are capable of seeing environmental problems from multiple perspectives, and who will contribute to the development of an environmentally sustainable society. In the Global, Regional, and Local Environmental Science Course, students study pollution from harmful chemical substances, as well as analysis and evaluation of the changes in regional or global environments, based on observation in the fields of atmosphere, water, forests and ocean. In the Environmental Life Science Course, students learn various life phenomena from microbes to Homo sapiens, and study environmental responses of organisms, the impact on the health of Homo sapiens by environmental factors, and prevention methods for protecting life. The Environmental Symbiosis Course focuses on the creation of a comfortable and prosperous environment for the future, and conservation of water and the soil environment, the supply of safe water, chemical substances and health, and the development of people-friendly and eco-friendly materials, etc. are the subjects of study. Working people who are interested in environmental problems which companies or research and development institutions face, students from Japan and international students, are welcome. 1
