修士論文・卒業論文発表会 & 今週の輪読
2/15, 16 には生物制御化学研究室が所属している実践農食科学コースの修士論文発表会がオンラインで開催されました．本研究室からは鳥井潤一郎君が「ホウレンソウのフラボノイド型ファイトアレキシンの同定」というタイトルで発表しました．今回発表した学生たちは修士課程の二年間がほぼ丸々新型コロナウイルス感染症発生時期と重なって，いつもとは違う苦労が多い大学院生活になってしまいましたが，皆さん立派に発表することができていました．
続いて 2/17 からは食生命科学科の卒業論文発表会が同様にオンラインで始まりました．こちらは来週月曜日までかかり，生物制御化学研究室の学生たちの発表は来週月曜日の予定です．
今週の輪読では下記の論文を取り上げました．
