Education Programs in IMB
One of the missions for IMB has been the ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN SCIENCE EDUCATION TO cultivate outstanding scientific talents for the next generation. A graduate training program has been officially established in collaboration with National Defense Medical Center, National Central University, National Taiwan University, National Yang-Ming Chiao-Tung University, IMB has also sponsored a Taiwan International Graduate Program in "Molecular and Cell Biology (TIGP-MCB Program)", in cooperation with the Institute of Life Sciences, National Defense University.
There are also programs for summer students and gifted high school students funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Taiwan International Graduate Program in "Molecular and Cell Biology" (TIGP-MCB Program)
Academia Sinica provides an international environment, which is culturally rich and intellectually stimulating. TIGP-MCB program aims to provide solid training to Ph.D. students for a future career in basic and applied research in modern biology. The training that is both comprehensive and integrative. Students in TIGP-MCB program receive a solid foundation in every aspect of molecular biology and are given opportunities to apply their knowledge to a diverse array of research fields.
TIGP-MCB
PhD Program, Graduate Institute of Life Sciences of National Defense Medical Center
The program is flexible and individualized according to each student’s particular needs and academic interests, offering rigorous training and close mentoring by faculty. The program provides the opportunities for local students pursuing their advance study in life sciences. It is co-sponsored by National Defense Medical Center, Academia Sinica and National Health Research Institute since 1992.
NDMC ILS
IMB Master Joint Program
IMB is in cooperation with the prestigious universities to cultivate the master students. The students who have motivations to do the research in IMB can apply for the affiliated master programs. The 2-year master program provides the solid hands-on experimental training and interdisciplinary knowledge by IMB. The students with potential and interest can continue to study in the PhD program on the basis of academic accumulation.
Joint Master Student Programs with IMB:
Systems Biology Program with National Taiwan University
Systems biology is an interdisciplinary study of organism by integrating the knowledge of mathematics, computational sciences, electric engineering, statistics, physics, and chemistry, as well as the traditional biology, medical science and agriculture. Being a comprehensive university, National Taiwan University recruits and educates the top researchers and scholars in various fields, and therefore concretes its ability and obligation to promote the development of systems biology in Taiwan. Since many fields of modern genetics (including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) and molecular and cell biology are the current focus of research in systems biology, NTU recognizes that there is an increasing need to train the next generation scientists to complement the conventional reductionist approach with more holistic perspectives, in order to keep up with trends in current biological studies and maintain its cutting-edge research and global competitiveness. Therefore, NTU collaborated with Academia Sinica and established the joint graduate program named ＂Genome and Systems Biology Degree Program＂
