DETAIL

Our department, established in1979, offers BSc, MSc, PhD degree programs for students who are interested in becoming a medical technologist, academic or industrial research scientist, professor, public servant, etc. The course content includes not only traditional medical diagnostic technique, but also particularly focused on basic life sciences, the present biotechnology, genetic engineering, and clinical medicine in our curriculum content.

The four-year undergraduate program provides extensive basic and clinical science and biotechnology trainings, research opportunities, and twenty-weeks clinical internship in three of the best local medical centers (Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Mackay Memorial Hospital, and Veterans General Hospital). In addition to course work requirements, MSc and PhD students are actively involved in research supported by government or private grants and core facilities with state-of-the-art equipment such as Illumina HiSeq next generation sequencer, LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer, flow cytometer, confocal microscope, etc.

We have professional and outstanding teaching faculty members, and the Institute’s professors also support the Department’s courses. We have all kinds of sophisticated experimental equipment, and there are the best learning environments
