Life science has been central to the development of the 21st century natural sciences, and its development is related to people’s health and well-being. Today, life and health industry has become a new driving force to promote the development of the world economy. Therefore, the central and local governments set the strategic priorities to foster advancing emerging life science related industries. Life science is one of the key disciplines of the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). Founded in 2012, the Department of Biology is among the first established academic departments in the university. Since its founding, the Department has assembled groups of faculty members with diverse research interests and expertise to tackle fundamental problems of life science. All of the faculty members had prior research experience at top internationally-acclaimed universities before joining SUSTech and some of them had been awarded tenures in these universities or research institutions worldwide. The faculty of the department are supported by the state-of-the-art scientific research platform facilities and talent recruitment programs, such as the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Cellular Microenvironment and Disease Research, Key Laboratory of Molecular Design for Plant Cell Factory of Guangdong Higher Education Institutes, Guangdong Provincial "Pearl River Talent Program" for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Cryo-EM Center, Plant and Food Research Institute, SUSTech-UQ Joint Centre for Neuroscience and Neural Engineering and Experimental Animal Center. Concentrated on five major areas, namely molecular cell biology, neurobiology, plant biology, system biology and structural biology, their research focuses on the frontiers of life science and high-impact human health issues, with cross-disciplinary approaches. The Department of Biology’s life science program was approved as a key discipline at the provincial level (Guangdong) in 2016. In 2018, the Department was authorized to confer doctorate and master’s degrees to graduate students, and was designated as a postdoctoral workstation in 2019. These developments set the department on track to be developed as a top-tier academic institution of Guangdong province. On this basis, we established a major in Biological Sciences, aiming to inspire students to understand the nature of life at different levels, such as molecules, cells, individuals, etc., through extensive basic training in modern biology and a research-oriented learning environment, while improving students' ability to solve problems by means of scientific methods.
