The Institute of Biotechnology in NTU was founded in 2006 to foster high-level cross-disciplinary biotechnology professionals. Graduates are expected to play crucial roles in fields including tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, genomics and proteomics, structural biology and bioinformatics. The institute’s educational goals are: buildup of professional knowledge and technology integration philosophies, cultivation of the spirit of research and development, ethics in biotech, and expansion of industry and international perspective. Asides from the biotech core courses, there are a variety of optional courses to choose from.
