**Why study chemical biology? [#u2a7645c]
Life is driven by chemistry. All biological events, from gene expression to energy production, are driven by sequences of chemical events. Chemical understanding and manipulation of biological processes through chemical biology technology will open up new avenues in drug discovery and medical science as well as in chemistry and biology themselves.
By pursuing chemical biology, you will be able to learn both chemistry and biology at the highest of levels. Once you master chemical biology skills and thinking, you will be able to see biological processes with through the eyes of a chemist and chemical processes through the eyes of a biologist. Your multifaceted skills will give you a unique advantage in research. It may be YOU who revolutionizes your field!

**For prospective graduate students [#uafc2cd4]
(*)Standard for recommendation screening
Every year, many brilliant students visit the chemical biology laboratory. During such visits, we create opportunities to discuss the students’ goals and visions. These discussions help us determine whether and how Uesugi Laboratory could help the candidate students in their future careers and achievement of goals. Candidates that receive recommendations are selected based on comprehensive evaluation of eligibility, taking into consideration opinions from every member of the laboratory. Normally, recommendations are given to up to two students every year.
As Master's Program students: Uesugi Laboratory accepts only a small number of Master's Program students. Application procedures are the same as those of the Doctoral Program. To take the Master's Program examination for the Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, students must contact the laboratory of their choice beforehand. Also, students are required to pass the graduate school entrance exam given every September.
We do not accept undergraduate students.
