This program emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and research training in Molecular Medicine, with a focus on disease-related issues, leading to a Master’s degree. In the field of molecular medicine, molecular biology techniques are used to establish and investigate models of human diseases, which are used to develop disease diagnostic and treatment strategies that complement clinical medical research. By adopting an interdisciplinary learning model, this program cultivates problem-oriented research skills in biomedical science without the constraints of traditional life sciences. The program places a strong emphasis on developing multi-skilled professionals who can bring about positive changes in the workplace. Graduates will have a fundamental grasp of scientific reasoning, enabling them to effectively engage and collaborate with professionals from diverse fields, inspiring innovative technologies and applications.
Upon meeting all academic requirements and qualifications, graduates will be awarded a Master of Science degree.
【Group A – Domestic Students】
This program is a collaborative effort between the College of Life Sciences at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and the Genomics Research Center at Academia Sinica, aimed at nurturing talent in biomedical science.
The Academia Sinica aims to cultivate interdisciplinary research talents, enrich research and innovation potential, and enhance Taiwan’s academic competitiveness on the global stage.
