Flow of undergraduate program
=============================
Our laboratory places great emphasis on both experimental work and theoretical study, as we specialize in protein physics.

.. important:: **Research Characteristics**

    - Create diagrams and graphs to explain complex concepts.
      → Make difficult concepts easy to understand, logical, and detailed.
    - Use mathematical equations instead of chemical structural formulas.
      → Go back to basics during your student days to gain a broad understanding of science and mathematics.
    - The laboratory is self-sufficient in terms of equipment, methodology, and programming.
      → Our lab is like a self-sufficient village, focusing on individual student growth rather than research efficiency.
