Institute of Molecular Medicine

  The Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM), established in 2002, advocates an integrated approach to conduct research in the field of molecular medicine and designs graduate programs at both the master and doctoral level. Currently, IMM consists of seven full-time, one part-time, and seven adjunct faculty members all actively engaged in various research fields including immunology, neurophysiology, cellular responses to DNA damage and DNA repair, cancer biology, human genetics, medical microbiology, metabolic and degenerative diseases, developmental biology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and bioinformatics.

  IMM shares space and facilities with the other four institutes of The College of Life Science which comprises two 6-story buildings containing state-of-art equipment such as confocal microscopes, epifluorescence microscopes, flow cytometers, electrophysiological recording equipment, real-time PCR, infrared imaging systems, ultracentrifuges, an ELISA reader, fluorescence readers, an automatic DNA sequencer, a microarrayer, LC-Mass, HPLC, NMR, a scanning electron microscope and an electron microscope.

  Faculty members of IMM have strong collaborations with scientists of other research institutes and hospitals such as The Academia Sinica, The National Health Research Institutes, The National High Speed Computer Center/Synchrotron, The Animal Technology Institute of Taiwan, National Taiwan University Hospital at Hsinchu, Veterans General Hospital, Chung Gang Medical University, and Mackay Memorial Hospital.
