Azabu University was adopted in 2016 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's private university research branding project "Realization of a human health society through the creation of animal symbiotic science" and achieved great results.This time, the "Human and Animal Symbiosis Science Center" was newly established in order to further develop the results and promote the return to education and social contribution.Start activities with an emphasis on research, education and social connections.
Through the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's support project, "Realization of a human healthy society through the creation of animal symbiotic science," Azabu University will scientifically elucidate the symbiosis between humans and animals and contribute to the human healthy society through its formation. I have been aiming to create a new academic field of doing things.
In response to the results, the newly established Symbiotic Science Center will provide "state-of-the-art research that fosters the coexistence of humans and animals," "education that makes use of cutting-edge research," and "returning the obtained knowledge to society and the community." Work on the center.In particular, we will realize the integration of research and education, and focus on new education and research that reflects the uniqueness of Azabu University as a veterinary and life science university.
The pillars of the research are (3) analysis of cognitive interaction between humans and animals and construction of a new social system, (8) microbial crosstalk between humans and animals, and (XNUMX) identification of co-evolutionary genes between humans and animals. Expand the project.For example, the suppression of allergies by breeding dogs is known, and we are aiming to identify the bacteria involved in the suppression of allergies and to establish a new method for suppressing allergies.
In education through research, students themselves will consider how sustainable relationships between humans, animals, and the environment can be built through the "Earth Symbiosis Theory," which is a common subject throughout the university.In addition, in the "Earth Symbiotic Science Work" for all faculties and departments, which will be newly implemented from 2020, active learning will be conducted to acquire the latest research implementation ability.Furthermore, we will proceed with preparations for the university-wide expansion of the "Practical Generalist Development Research Project" of "STEM-type education" that has started in the Department of Applied Animal Science.
