Drug Discovery Science
It is now possible to identify and understand disease-related genes and proteins. Thus, current drug discovery research now augments conventional synthetic chemistry methods with genomic information and computer science-driven theoretical approaches when developing new drugs.

Environmental Health Sciences
Disease prevention and health promotion are important missions of pharmaceutical sciences. Environmental health sciences are based on nutrition and food science, public health, toxicology, and environmental health and is a traditional area of pharmaceutical sciences, which studies human health from an atomic/molecular to global environmental perspective and contributes to disease prevention and health promotion.

Life Pharmacy Science
In addition to studying the workings of life from a variety of different perspectives, including at the genetic, molecular, cellular and individual organism level, life pharmacy seeks to reveal the mechanisms underlying cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, immune disorders, infectious diseases and other conditions and to contribute to the development of more effective drugs to treat them.

Medical / Information Pharmacy Science
This discipline produces pharmacists who are able to collect and utilize information on drug effects, side effects, drug interactions, etc., as well as appropriately utilize drugs in consideration of medical conditions and drug use history, to improve quality of life for patients.
