Title: A STUDY OF THE FUNCTION OF CDK5 IN OLIGODENDROCYTES DIFFERENTIATION BY USING CONDITIONAL KNOCKOUT STRATEGY

Forty eight undergraduate students, 10 master course students and 4 doctor course students graduated.  Namely the undergraduates were the first students to this department.  This year ceremonies for graduation were canceled due to the earthquake disaster, and certificates were handed to graduatesby their mentors.

Five students were chosen as participants of UCLA (University of California Los Angels) CSST (Cross-disciplinary Scholars in Science and Technology) Program. They will stay in laboratories in UCLA for two months in summmer of 2011.

The "Building a Health and Life Science Research Consortium for Laboratory Exchange" project was adopted by the "Young Researcher Overseas Visits Program for Vitalizing Brain Circulation" program (Funding Program for World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology (FIRST Program) by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science). This project was proposed by the School of Science and Engineering, Waseda University to accelerate exchange young scholars among international research institutions.

On 12th October Japan-Germany Joint Symposium on Collaboration for Life Innovation: Health Span Dynamics & The 8th Joint Symposium between the University of Bonn and Waseda University will be held. (program)

The Waseda University School and Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering established international programs that allow students to earn degrees through programs conducted entirely in the English language, recruiting outstanding students from all over the world. As the first year students, Department of Life Science and Medical Bioscience received one undergraduate and one master course students.
