(Education for undergraduates) I try as hard as possible to increase students’ interest in natural science, which is a base of the biomedical information sciences. Course materials provided to students are latest scientific research news including the Nobel prizes in physiology and medicine, chemistry, and physics. I briefly explain the reasons why these studies are marked as scientific breakthroughs. Emphasis is also placed on education to improve how to write logical and readable sentences by means of analyzing scientific articles written in English. (Research) It takes much time and money to design new functional materials such as drugs. Computer-aided materials design is of great interest to industrial and pharmaceutical fields, but it is still impossible to achieve the optimal balance of computational costs and accuracy. I devise a new approach, which substantially reduces computational costs without deteriorating the accuracy. To illustrate the merits of the method, it is now applied to the prediction of site of metabolism, oxidative DNA damage, and drug-protein interactions.
