Department of Agricultural Chemistry
Chemistry and Biotechnology － Frontier Technology of Practical Science －
Deepening the essential and comprehensive understanding of the basic structure and biotic reaction that is common to every creature and on specific structure and higher life process acquired through evolution, is the aim of this department. Basic and applied researches are conducted in relation to four common issues of mankind in agricultural science, food, environment, health and energy, and their related areas and conservation and maintenance of production environment, and eventually frontier technology is obtained through experiments.
