We will study translational research with the theme of pharmaceutical design and the development of pharmaceuticals after they are already on the market. With practical applications of omics research in mind, in addition to gaining an overview that spans from fundamental research to clinical research, we will seek to understand the various issues in translational research. One important feature of these lectures is the opportunity to converse directly with lecturers who are involved in real-world applications.
