The objectives of human resource cultivation in the Department of Pharmacoscience are as follows:
- Through education and research of pharmacoscience and the development of its application, cultivate human resources with a wide range of specialized knowledge and practical abilities, which enable them to deeply understand comprehensive information science on pharmaceuticals (pharmacoinformatics) from the perspective of the pharmacoscience and apply it for development purposes.
- Cultivate advanced professional engineers and educators, and make special efforts to cultivate researchers who are knowledgeable in the following three disciplines: drug discovery science (to identify protein molecules of drug discovery targets from disease-related genes, etc., design and synthesize new drugs, and evaluate physical properties), pharmaceutical life science (to clarify pharmacological actions, side effects and pharmacokinetics of drugs) and pharmaceutical science (to use concerning drug safety and toxicity, environmental health, etc.).
- Cultivate human resources who have acquired both advanced research capabilities, which enable them to find solutions to challenges in pharmacoscience-related areas with scientific exploration, and outstanding leadership skills, which enable them to conduct education and training in this area.
