About Us
Our History
The precursor of DBB was established at 1993 : The Institute
of Biotechlonogy For Aquaculture , was the
first specialized Biotech reasearch institute in all of Taiwan's
national universities.Thought the twenty-odd years of our
history we continously nurtured and cultured countless talents in
the fields of Biotech for the domestic and abroads alike; and had
always been known for our solid, rigorous, teaching and training
programs in the community of both the industries and academic. The
inclusion of Committee for General Chemmistry Education, which
responsible for the school-wide shared curriculum of General
Chemistry in 1995 further add the feature of
chemistry education and research to our department. And were
at 1996 recieved the permission of establishing Ph.D program. At
2002 the change of institute's name to Institute of Biotechnology
and the continous appointment of experts specialized in different
academic research reflect the diverse and multidisciplinary nature
of Biotechnology. In 2005 the support in the establishment of NTOU's
Bachelor in Bioscience program deepening the root of well
established teaching tradition.
Since August of 2014, the Department of Bioscience and the
Institute were merged to became the Deparment
of Bioscience and Biotechnology of NTOU. Through this merging
we had restructured the curriculum and program from undergraduate to
graduate, and finally Ph.D, and make changes to the continuum of
Biotechnology courses, in response to the trend in social
environment and the needs in industries. In the future, NTOU DBB
will still uphold past tradition in focus on the development of
student's ability at basics of Biotechnology
and Applied Chemistry , while the same
time emphasize the 'Multidisciplinary'
and 'Marine Biotechnology' applications
in the commmercial aspects, promoting student's field practices and
instructor's participation in industry-academic coorperation
projects with related application, and cultivating and supporting
the technical specialists the country need.

Specialties
Compare to similar courses
in other universities of taiwan, what NTOU DBB defferentiate itself
is by it's feature
of multidisciplinary teaching and research integration of “
Marine Resource ” , “ Biotechnology ” , “
Aplied Chemistry ”, creating a broader development future for
our students.
As for teaching ,our
departments faculty include specialist in the field of Marine
Biology, Embryogenesis, Molecular Biology, Genomic and Proteomics,
Bioinformatics, Biochemistry, Material Science, Nanotechnology, and
Analytic Chemistry that NTOU already possessed, so except the
general bioscience course taught at universitie's main stream, we
furthermore emphasized on the technical knowledge of marine
life resources and
of the field of
chemistry. Beside
this our department also collaborate
with Academic Sinica in the program of Molecular Integrative Biology
(MIB), introduce
the staff and resources of one of taiwans most presdigiou's research
institute to broaden the learning landscape of our students. And
because of this our department's bechalor and graduate
have the opportunity to
participate in the “Elite Research Project” that we and
the Institute of Cellular and Organismic Biology, ICOB, together
established, hone
your technical expertise in our department and develop the
capability to stand on the world's stage!
In research, our staffs
have vigorous productive energy, on average recieving more than 20
mil NTD in support grant annually, in addition to the well
established precision instruments, such as mass spectrometer, high
performance liquid chrommatographer, confocal microscope and
the likes that our department already possessed, we are well equiped
to supply an intensive academic and practical trainging to our
bachelor and graduate students. Also , our faculty are actively
performing integrative multidisciplinary apllied reasearch, in the
perspect of appication our main include the following 4 main
multidisciplinary themes : (1) bionics nanomaterials, (2) biological
stress and environmentl detection, (3) marine microorganism
biotechnology, and (4) model organisms and embryonic development.
Our department integrated the experts in different field of marine
science, biotechnology, chemistry and material science, and
therefore enable the student participate in the relatedprogram have
the opportunity of learning knowledges from serveral fields a thte
same time, staying alongside the trend of most cutting edge
technological innovation, becoming the multidisciplinary talents
that future industry can't do without.

mental quality of “honesty, simplicity, fraternity,
perseverance”.
As for now our faculty
include 15 appointed instructors, 11 jointly appointed instructor
with Institute of Marine Biology, 12 jointly appointed instructors
with MIB project, and 6 adjunct instructors. In total the line-up of
more than 44 multidisciplinary experts across all biotechnology
related fields holding Ph.D degree, covering both the fields of pure
and applied research, could say to be among
one of the most prestigious quality in the country!

more innformation go to[Our People]
To achieve our teaching
objective, we have set up for our bechalor student the solid
fundemental courses of “bioscience” and “applied
chemistry”, And offer the choice of two main program
“Biotechnology” and “Marine Biodiversity” in
accordance with each student's interest and talents to strengthen
their professional knowledge. We also encourage those with
outstanding performance to enroll in the 5 year BA-MA program , with
scholarships and credit tuition waivers provided by the school, and
the excellent learning environment of our department, to acquire
both BA and MA in the most efficient manner. As for our graduate
program, we have comprehensive master and Ph.D courses that
strengthen the student's technical proficiency in both biotechnology
and applied chemistry, and also we set up the “academic elite
class” and “industry academia elite class”,
providing those with particular interest and ambition for research
or industry plenty chances to challenge and improve themself!

As for execution we
actively introduce innovative teaching methods, such as real time
class feedback system, flipped classroom, guided problem learning
and so on. And in addition we have set up our very own online
learning platform, in it collected database of lecture podcasts for
main subjects, prvoding students the material and resources for
repeated preview and review. And among them the biochemistry courses
even are listed in the website of Taiwan Open Course Consortium, and
recived much praise from self study individuals in society,and the
affirmation of reward from Northern Taiwan Teaching and Learning
Consortium. Rigorous, Care, Diversity, and High-Tech are the feature
and goals of our deparment's courses!
