School of Chemistry,
Life Science, and Informatics
The School of Chemistry, Life Science, and Informatics as an organization that achieves “Emerging”
In 2000, with the aim of achieving our principle, “emerging”, the Graduate School of Faculty of Science and Technology at Keio University implemented organization reform into three large schools whereby each of the three schools is responsible for an extensive academic field. A quarter century has since passed, and we decided to carry out a new reform plan to reorganize our graduate school into four large schools. Our school, the School of Chemistry, Life Science, and Informatics, is responsible for education and research in the academic field based on chemistry, life science, and related physics and informatics. Faculty members belonging to the Department of Applied Chemistry, Chemistry, and Biosciences and Informatics held extensive deliberations on the graduate school system in this broad academic field to set up three curricula, i.e., Curriculum of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, Emerging Physico-chemistry, and Biosciences and Informatics. As a research organization, we will actively conduct two types of research̶ research to deepen expertise, as well as more dynamic and diverse research involving collaboration across different areas of expertise under the new Research Units system.
Advantages of the School of Chemistry, Life Science, and Informatics
We believe that the interests and ambitions of students who are interested in the academic field based on chemistry, life science, and related physics and informatics are considerably extensive and diverse. We are confident that our school, as a premier education and research organization, possesses the characteristics and features that can satisfy the demands of a diverse student body. We will make proactive efforts to advance both education and research activities to deepen specialization, as well as various collaborative approaches across different fields of expertise.
Our Goals and Objectives
We place high importance on education and research activities to deepen specialization, as well as research on more specific fields such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biology. In addition, we conduct interdisciplinary research by collaborating across diverse fields, transcending traditional barriers and linking up with physics and informatics. We aim to develop innovative science and technology and nurture many talented professionals to spearhead innovation in the 21st century.
