\u25cfDepartment of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry (Undergraduate, Master\u2019s and PhD Programs)
\n\u25cfDepartment of Biomedical and Environmental Biology (Undergraduate and Master\u2019s Programs)
\n\u25cfDepartment of Biotechnology (Undergraduate and Master\u2019s Programs)<\/p>\n

The College of Life Science was founded in January 1, 2000,
\nwhich was composed of the Department of Chemistry (Master\u2019s
\nDegree Program included) and the Department of Biology. In
\nresponse to the advent of the Post-human Genome Era, life sciences
\nhad entered a new avenue, including understanding and control of
\nevolution of life, renovated ways to tackle diseases, regeneration
\nand reinvigoration of the environment, reformation of industrial
\nprocess, and the use and processing of biological information, etc..
\nTherefore, the Department of Chemistry was renamed to the
\n\u201cDepartment of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry\u201d (Master\u2019s
\nDegree Program and In-Service Master\u2019s Degree Program
\nincluded) on August 1, 2003. Meanwhile, the Ph.D. Degree
\nProgram was set up, to improve research and development in
\nmedicine and biomaterials and to cultivate professionals in
\nmedicine and chemistry. On the other hand, the Department of
\nBiology was renamed to \u201cDepartment of Biomedical and
\nEnvironmental Biology\u201d and the Master\u2019s Degree Program was set
\nup to integrate the theory of basic biology and the application of
\nmodern biotechnology. In addition, \u201cDepartment of Biotechnology\u201d
\nwas founded on August 1, 2003, and in 2007, the Master\u2019s Degree
\nProgram began to enroll students independently. The focus of this
\ndepartment is to transform molecular and biomedical research
\ninto practical applications of biotechnology. The three departments
\nof the College of Life Science support one another in teaching
\nand research to intensify the abilities of biomedical application
\nand development. To follow KMU\u2019s developmental direction, the
\nCollege of Life Science strives to promote collaboration projects
\nwith industries and institutes of healthcare services.
\nBesides, in response to world industry trends and government\u2019s
\npolicy, the biomedical and biotechnology industry has developed
\nrapidly; therefore, the industry of biopharmaceuticals will demand
\na great number of research professionals in the near future. On
\nAugust 1, 2014, \u201cMaster\u2019s Degree Program in Biopharmaceutical
\nResearch\u201d was established. The program places the emphasis on
\nintegrating interdisciplinary professions, and its courses were
\ndesigned to combine the professions of biology, chemistry, pharmacy,
\nand intellectual properties. Such an effort should facilitate the
\ncultivation of new generation biopharmaceutical professionals.
\nThe College of Life Science integrates each faculty\u2019s professions,
\nincluding medicinal chemistry, genetics and bioinformatics,
\nbiomaterials, disease mechanism, and environmental biology and
\necology. By translating the basic theories into related applications
\nthe College of Life Science aims to assist and support Taiwan\u2019s
\nbiotechnological industry and at the same time, to while cultivating
\nprofessionals of life sciences well-educated with both theory and
\npractice.
\nThe College of Life Science not only creates an interactive
\nenvironment for teachers and students to be involved in activities
\nincluding entertainment , collaborative research projects, and
\nundergraduate and graduate students\u2019 research paper contests, but
\nencourages students to do academic research at overseas universities
\nand research institute. Besides, the College invited renowned
\noverseas scholars to participate in academic communication (Nobel
\nPrize Winner in Chemistry , Professor Akira Suzuki (picture 1)
\nand Professor Chaitan Khosla from Harvard University).
\nFurthermore, the College of Life Science had signed Memorandum
\nof understanding (MOU) with Chongqing University and Xiamen
\nUniversity on academic and student exchange project. By
\ninternational academic exchanges, we hope that the research
\ncapacity of our teachers and students will continue to grow with
\nglobal vision.
\nFocuses of development:
\n1.Nano Biomedical Research
\n2.Innovative small-molecule drug development
\n3.Biodiversity research
\n4.Design and development of biotechnology and pharmaceutical
\nscreening
\n5.Sustainable green chemistry research
\n6.Cell and Gene Research
\n7.Investigation of the disease mechanism and therapy
\n8.Biomedical Materials and Materials Chemistry Applications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
