Recently, rapid development and change of the bioindustry such as diagnostic gene testing, medical treatment, genomic drug discovery, food analysis, production of transgenic plants and bio-chemical products are remarkable worldwide. Therefore, a novel educational program for training the professional practitioners who are capable of participating in the above mentioned fields to meet with the social needs are highly required.
Moreover, although the representative diversity of food such as gene resources including genetically engineered organisms have been distributed internationally with the daily globalization of economy and transportation, very few administrative systems in Asia countries are able to handle and manage the safety for these resources, not to mention the specialists who can decide the policy of these systems.
The objective of our program is to provide an educational program for “the training of professional practitioners who can play active roles in creating new bioindustry technologies and managing bioindustrial materials for ensuring the distribution and usage of bioresources, can handle intellectual property rights, and can meet with the global standard in regard to international strategy and policy determination.” This education is carried out on the basis of a curriculum focusing on teaching students broad and specialized knowledge and raising their abilities to play an active role in various fields of bioindustry.
