Research Topics

Plant pathology is the science that studies plant diseases and aims to improve crop production effectively and safely. One promising approach includes conventional breeding and arable genetic engineering of disease-resistant plants. Plant pathology is therefore a preventive clinical plant science that combines a basic knowledge of physiology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and many other branches of science.

Research Professor

From FY 2018, Okayama University established a system to certify an associate professor with outstanding research achievements as a "Research Professor" to support the activities as a Principal Investigator (PI).
Although research professors are requested to make efforts to obtain external funds, our university as a whole supports their research by providing incentives for research expenses and requesting supports from the departments to which they belong.
