Goals
- Transform research breakthroughs in molecular biology and medical science into biotechnological applications.
- Application to biomedical engineering from the combination of chemistry and biotechnology
- Education of talents with professional knowledge, critical thinking, innovation, interdisciplinary integration, and scientific literacy.
Missions
- In addition to encouraging interaction between faculty members and students in the college’s departments and graduate institutes (including informal interaction and joint research projects), we are vigorously promoting academic exchange with other universities and research organizations as well as greater industrial cooperation. We hope that the outstanding results of our research projects can be applied to help foster the development of our domestic biotech industry.
- We promote the integration of individual laboratories by creating new programs in pharmaceutical technology, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Undergraduate students can participate and obtain thorough training in their areas of interest, thereby ensuring a source of graduate students with great potential.
- The Department of Biotechnology will focus on genetic information, protein engineering, and molecular pharmacology during its initial phase. The department plans to educate more talents with a solid grasp of theory and practice, thereby assisting the country to develop its biotech industry.
Accomplishments
Teaching
New curriculums of College of Life Science from the integration of chemistry and biotechnology are created to cultivate talents with interdisciplinary integration ability.
Research
Lots of research projects of teachers and undergraduate students were funded by National Science Council or other government units and their achievements were published in SCI journals. Students of College of Life Science were awarded a prize from after-school research competitions. Lots of national and international symposiums funded by National Science Council or other government units were held by College of Life Science.
Service and Learning
Student associations of College of Life Science host the “Life Sciences Camp”, to recruit students of senior high school from all over the nation to advance knowledge of modern chemistry and biology and environmental biology every summer. Students of College of Life Science gained the best team award of the National Youth Commission for his volunteer work in the Solomon Islands Executive Yuan. Faculties of College of Life became the chief editor and executive director of the Chemistry Journal of Taiwan.
Internationalization
Every year, many international researchers are invited to come and give a lecture. Students of College of Life Science irregularly attend the international conferences or are the visiting scholars in international university.
Industry-University Cooperation
The College of Life Science professors participate in producing study cooperation research plans. Lots of patents and technology transferring were certified.
