• Purpose: This program is based on the ideas of sustainable use, local heritage, and cross-border innovation. It is intended to take Taiwan’s ample biodiversity together with local geographical features and apply them with modern biochemistry and molecular-biology-based biotechnology. Interdisciplinary studies will follow the sustainable standards and practices of medical biotechnology, green energy technology and marine antifouling, allowing Taiwan’s unique resources to be used sustainably. We cultivate talent in the field of sustainable marine bioresources development by cooperating with relevant domestic and international industries, and provide industry training and instruction from industry veterans.

• Objectives: The course will cross the imaginary gap between ocean and industry in students’ minds and enhance relationships between industry and academia. Students will acquire basic knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology, fostering their ability to learn interdisciplinary subjects such as biopharmaceutical development, transgenic green energy, and marine antifouling. They will learn professional knowledge from basic biological ecology to modern biochemistry and biotechnology. The program combines academic knowledge with the practical knowledge of veterans throgh hands-on and experimental lessons, which improve their expertise and experience.
