About School of Biology and Integrated Sciences

Comprehensively Learn Basic Science for Future Generations

The mechanics and calculus developed by Newton and Leibniz have allowed humans to launch rockets that have reached space to deploy satellites, enabling various technological advancements, such as accurate weather predictions. Research conducted 50 years ago by Neumann and Turing has enabled the realization of today’s computer science.

Science, which explores the truth of the universe and nature, has fundamentally supported the development of practical knowledge, such as medicine, pharmacy, engineering, and agriculture, and has significantly contributed to the progress of our society. In a sense, science is a type of study that attempts to address all sorts of problems and finds a way to solve them.

The School of Biology and Integrated Sciences in the Department of Biology and Integrated Sciences, was established in April 2018 in Nagoya City University. It offers a comprehensive basic program to learn natural sciences, including life sciences, physics, chemistry, as well as the fundamentals of science that includes mathematics and information science, in its approach to nurturing students who will lead the coming generations in the sciences.

Our Vision and Goal

Our goal is to nurture open-minded students who are capable of taking an interdisciplinary approach that goes beyond the limitations of conventional academic fields by providing educational research in each specialized field after extensive learning of the basics, focusing on life sciences, including natural sciences (chemistry and physics), mathematics, and information science.

Primary Academic Field

The core study subject in our department is science. Students learn the basics of science, focusing on life sciences, including natural sciences (chemistry and physics), mathematics, and information science, with the goal of becoming specialized professionals. The fields of study in our department are categorized into three areas: life sciences, materials science, and mathematical information sciences.

Materials science	Life sciences	Mathematical information science
The class of materials science offers chemistry, physics, and geoscience, ranging from basic to advanced levels. Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of study that is not only associated with the basics of life sciences but also deeply related to mathematics and information science. Furthermore, it includes the academic fields of physical chemistry, organic chemistry, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics.	The class in life sciences offers the study of a wide range of life phenomena, including molecules, individuals, and ecology, ranging from basic to advanced levels. Life sciences are interdisciplinary because this field of study requires an understanding of the basics of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and information science to deeply comprehend it. In addition, it includes the academic fields of ecology, physiology, evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, applied biology, and molecular genetics.	The class in mathematical information science offers mathematics and information science, ranging from basic to advanced levels. Mathematical information science is an interdisciplinary field associated with the basics and data analysis of life sciences and materials science. Furthermore, it is involved in several academic fields, such as geometry, algebra, information mathematics, programming, and information processing.
