Study at IMB

Through our graduate programs, IMB has fostered many emerging scientists who have already played leading roles in various scientific fields, both in Taiwan and abroad.

Research at IMB

IMB’s scientists aim to understand the general principles of how living organisms work, but also why human diseases develop, thus enabling us to find ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating illnesses such as cancer, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases.
