A Brief History
The Institute of Nuclear Science was the first institute when Tsing Hua University was re-established in Taiwan in 1956. A Ph.D. program was added later in 1987. The Department of Nuclear Science was established in 1992 to also provide undergraduate teaching and additional research programs. In 2006, the department was renamed as the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Environmental Sciences (BMES) to reflect the specialty of faculty members and teaching programs. More than 1600 students have graduated from this department. Currently, the department has ~80 Ph.D. students, ~90 M.Sc. students, and ~160 B.Sc. students.
Curriculum
The undergraduate Biomedical Engineering and Environmental Sciences (BMES) degree focuses on fundamental knowledge in physics, chemistry, and biology; supplemented by mathematics, electrical engineering, and computer science. The overarching goal of this interdisciplinary training is solving problems in biomedicine and environmental health - two important research fields which are becoming mainstream in recent years. The first two years of the Bachelor’s degree mainly consists of fixed compulsory fundamental courses in a wide variety of fields as mentioned above. As of the third year, students may choose between the three main divisions in the department and select from a pool of corresponding elective courses: 1) molecular biomedical engineering and materials (aka chemistry group), 2) biomedical imaging engineering (aka physics group), and 3) environmental molecular science (aka environment group). Students also have an option of selecting courses outside of BMES to consolidate any additional interests.
Research Areas
The department has three teaching and research programs:
1) molecular biomedical engineering and materials (aka chemistry group)
- cancer therapeutics
- stem cell and tissue engineering
- drug delivery
2) biomedical imaging engineering (aka physics group)
- imaging methods (MRI, microscopy, ultrasound, photoacoustics, deep learning)
- interventional guidance for precision medicine and drug delivery
- biomedical electronics and wearable devices
3) environmental molecular science (aka environment group)
- analytical chemistry
- environmental photochemistry
- nanomedicine
