Department Highlights

In Taiwan, this is the only college which integrates “biotechnology” and “bioresources” under the same academic unit; thus, it puts special emphasis upon interdisciplinary cooperation and exchanges. Based upon United Nation’s “Convention on Biological Diversity”, biological resources cover all ecosystems, species, and genetic resources. It recognizes that the conservation of biological diversity is "a common concern of humankind" and is an integral part of the development process. It also covers the rapidly expanding field of biotechnology, addressing technology development and transfer, benefit-sharing and biosafety. The Convention establishes three main goals: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits from the use of genetic resources. It clearly states bioresources is the key stone for biotechnology and the sustainable development is crucial. The college aim to provide prestige interdisciplinary programs and equip the students with solid knowledge and skills.
