The "IMB Founders Lectureship" is created to pay tribute to a group of altruistic, dedicated and passionate scientists who, with foresight, established the "Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB)", thereby laying a solid foundation for the nation's advancement in cutting-edge biological sciences. This pivotal historical juncture underscores the founders' profound open-mindedness, selfless endeavors and fervent pursuit of ideals. Its significance cannot be overstated.

We hope the "IMB Founders Lectureship" will not only serve the purpose of expressing gratitude and commemorating the efforts and contributions of all founding members, but also provide the younger generation with a deeper understanding of the institute's ideals and historical legacy. The objective is to broadcast widely that this Institute has hosted a distinguished group of domestic and foreign scholars deserving deep respect and appreciation. In doing so, we aim to underscore the profound influence they have had on the development of molecular biology and biomedical sciences in Taiwan, as well as their selfless dedication to research for the country.
