Organisation profile
This doctoral research program was established in collaboration with Academia Sinica to cultivate interdisciplinary research that focuses on tumor-related medicine. Academia Sinica is Taiwan’s leading research institute and has outstanding scientific researchers and cutting-edge equipment for advanced research. TMU also works in collaboration with its three affiliated hospitals and has access to their clinical resources.
Through these relationships, the Cancer Biology and Drug Discovery program offers students a great opportunity to build a career with excellent research support. We enroll top students from around the world, and provide a strong curriculum of interdisciplinary training as well as a learning environment where students work with many research specialists.
From basic research to translational medicine, we develop cutting-edge therapeutic strategies for cancer prevention and treatment. We work hard for cancer patients, seeking to extend their lives and improve their quality of life.
