Brief introduction:
Our objective is to cultivate multi-talented investigators in biomedical research with solid knowledge, independent judgment, and ability to innovate. It is expected that our students should hold the following core capabilities that will be developed through the training program offered by this institute. Presently, there are four research interests in this institute, including translational cancer research and molecular diagnosis, preventive medicine examination, examination reagent research and development, and infection disease studies.
- Advanced biomedical experiment and research techniques
- Biomedicine theory and knowledge, and practical research ability
- English writing and effective communication ability
