Department of Chemistry for Life Sciences and Agriculture
Setagaya Campus
Deepening understanding of life and ecosystems through chemical analysis of atoms and molecules
Atoms and molecules are involved in every single “living” phenomenon in the biosphere. This department aims to further expand the future potential of the life sciences by deciphering the behavior of these atoms and molecules from a chemical perspective. Focusing on fine organic synthesis and the chemistry of natural products, this department is leading the way toward the development of medical and veterinary drugs, agrichemicals, and bioplastics through education and research grounded in polymer and analytical chemistry.
