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
  Biomedical engineering and environmental science use the knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, electrical engineering and computer science to solve the problems in biomedicine and the environment. Interdisciplinary study of these two fields has become mainstream research interest. The department provides undergraduate and graduate programs, granting B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees. Since 2011, the department also offers a M.D./Ph.D. program.


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
