National Institute for Basic Biology
Overview
At the National Institutes for Basic Biology, the parent institute for the Basic Biology Program, we conduct research aimed at elucidating the common and fundamental mechanisms that underlie all living organisms, that contribute to biological diversity, and that enable organisms to adapt to their environment. The Basic Biology Program seeks to cultivate researchers capable of identifying fundamental and pressing question in the biological science through research activities and coursework.
This program offers both a five-year and a three-year doctoral program for students with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, respectively. Students primarily conduct their academic studies and research activities at the National Institute for Basic Biology, located in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture.
