Four Core Development Areas
The Department focuses on AI × Bioinformatics × Medical Engineering, developing four core directions to cultivate cross-disciplinary application skills:
Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics focuses on genomics and big-data analysis, combining programming, database applications, and artificial intelligence algorithms to process genomic, proteomic, and various types of medical data. Students learn practical techniques such as building disease prediction models, analysis to support drug development, and mining of national health insurance databases, cultivating cross-disciplinary data science skills that connect to the data application needs of the precision medicine and smart healthcare industries, along with the professional ability to interpret complex biomedical information and translate it into a basis for clinical decision-making.
Precision Medicine
Precision medicine emphasizes data-driven personalized medical strategies, covering core techniques such as genomic analysis, national health insurance database applications, and drug design. Students take specialized courses in medical image analysis, microbiome research, and gene network modeling, and integrate a systems biology perspective to explore disease mechanisms. Through hands-on capstone projects and industry-academia collaboration, students build complete analytical skills from genetic information to clinical application, meeting the precision medicine industry's strong demand for cross-disciplinary talent.
Smart Healthcare
Smart healthcare combines wearable devices, biomedical electronics, and artificial intelligence technology to develop real-time physiological signal monitoring, remote care, and smart diagnostic-assist systems. Students take courses in surface plasmon sensing, biomedical photonics, and ultrasound system design, and through sensor integration and signal processing practicums, master the complete process from hardware development to data analysis, building cross-disciplinary integration and innovative R&D skills to meet the smart healthcare industry's strong demand for professional talent.
Advanced Medical Devices
Advanced medical devices focuses on innovative design and advanced manufacturing techniques for medical devices, covering the development and application of 3D-printed hydrogels, metal medical devices, ceramic medical devices, and textile medical devices. Students further study emerging fields such as cell printing, wound dressings, cosmetic products, and custom prosthesis design, participating from concept development through to actual fabrication. Through capstone practicums and industry-academia collaboration, students build the practical skills to translate theoretical knowledge into innovative clinical and industrial products.
